Leonardo's POV
During the piano performance, a waiter rushed over to Damon and whispered urgently in his ear. Damon immediately ceased playing, panic washing over his features. He stood, bowed quickly, and hurried after the waiter out of the restaurant.
Confusion rippled through the crowd as guests wondered what had occurred. Ashley and her companions looked particularly bewildered.
"Darren, what's happening? Why did the pianist leave?" Ashley questioned.
"No clue!" Darren responded, just as puzzled.
While everyone speculated about the sudden departure, I made my way to center stage and settled at the white piano.
As I struck the opening notes, all eyes turned toward me. Murmurs of recognition spread through the dining room as guests realized who was now performing.
"Is that Mr. Nelson?"
"Mr. Nelson is actually playing! We're incredibly fortunate!"
Excited chatter filled the air as diners expressed their amazement.
