Elara
Anderson begins to sing, and I am lost all over again, completely caught in the sound of his voice. I heard him sing yesterday, but this feels different. The emotion in it touches me deep inside, in the same places my mother's singing used to reach. I pull my legs up onto the chair, too caught up in the feeling to move.
The song comes to a slow finish, but his smile remains as he looks at the camera. "All right, everyone. That is all for today." Before he started, he made a short statement, apologizing for being gone for so long without an explanation. I know it has something to do with his band ending, but that is all I understand. "See you next time." He blows a kiss toward the lens, and a jealous knot forms in my stomach. I need to find his YouTube channel immediately. "Love you all. Stay safe."
