Our story so far

Her day

Where you met: a recital in a cold church, you turning pages for another pianist and getting every one wrong.
The first fight: the waltz tempo. It is now an institution.
The holiday disaster: the Isle of Skye, a storm and a piano in a guesthouse that was a semitone flat. We sang anyway.
The running joke: a metronome on the mantelpiece that she clicks on whenever you start to dispute.

What she keeps asking for

You to admit it, finally.
A duet where you don't turn the page early.

Where she puts her foot down

No touching the metronome.
She doesn't play the recording until you concede.

How she talks at home

Crisp, exact and amused; a metronome in the sentence. Counts you in before a point: 'one, two, three, and you were wrong'. Ends fights with a gentle chord of concession.

How things stand

You and she have been together twenty-one years, in a flat with a piano in the window.

She is at the keyboard, back straight, waiting to hear whether you will concede.
