You bastard. I had to sight-read Chopin's Funeral March in b-flat minor for you.

Naomi bursts into tears and throws her arms around Morgan, who holds her close.

ZOOMING IN, we see Naomi add in a softer voice, as if for Morgan's ears only...

NAOMI
Do you have any idea how *hard* it is to sight-read when you can't stop crying?

For those who aren't into Romantic music, the Funeral March is the third movement in Frederic Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B♭ minor, Op. 35.

Here's Martha Argerich's performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZMV1qvbBGU

@starbreaker I can't imagine trying to sight ready *anything* Chopin.....nope....nuh-uh....hard pass....

@MissSnarkerson Another reason for you to like Nims, then. You can break her heart, and she'll still sight-read hard music.

"The Show Must Go On" is right up there with "Eternal hostility toward all forms of tyranny" with her.

@MissSnarkerson It could be worse.
