The Hamburg Grand Hall Unconscious of her gesture, Valentina
smoothed the skirt of her long deep purple silk jersey gown, her
face glowed with rapture; her fingers involuntarily moved with the
tempo of the sonata. With a sweeping motion of his arms and hands,
the conductor brought the music to a finis. He glanced at her
standing in the wings, nodded then tapped the stand with his baton.
Valentina gracefully glided onto the stage. Her walk faltered for a
spilt second as her eyes ranged over the people sitting in the
first few rows of the concert hall. A shiver of apprehension
tingled down her spine, "He's here again. I can feel his eyes on
me. He scares me. Why is he here?" Her eyes became undisciplined;
they spun to the right, directly into his black abyss eyes. With a
super human effort she tore her gaze away to focus on the grand
piano that waited for her. Valentina sucked in a deep breath, her
mind whirled, focus on the music; forget everything else. The years
of lessons, practice and performances took over. Even though she
was just days from her twenty-sixth birthday and had been playing
to the public for years, Valentina was an enigma. The press spread
her reputation as an elusive, mysterious piano prodigy. The mystery
that surrounded her made her all the more in demand by fans young
and old.
