CHAPTER 52 The queen shines

  As Emma played, her mind briefly drifted back to the night before. She recalled the moment when she asked Opal, her loyal assistant, to investigate the piece that would be performed at Logan's birthday party. With meticulous preparation, Emma had spent the entire night rapidly learning "The Whispering Echoes," practicing tirelessly to perform it flawlessly. Every bit of preparation had been for this moment—the moment when she would shine before everyone, proving her talent and determination.

  As the piece neared its end, Emma's fingers continued to glide over the harp strings with a gentle yet masterful touch. She had completely mastered the music, and it seemed as though every note was infused with her soul and heart. The final notes resonated through the room, leaving a sense of completeness and satisfaction.
