Closing his eyes, Alec tried to remember everything that Lily had taught him. Jace had been his first teacher, but after he'd become friends with the vampire and she'd noticed his interest in music, she'd started giving him lessons. It'd been strange at first, both of them knowing they weren't supposed to be friends, but it'd been one of those details that had somehow allowed them to bond.

He'd already known Fur Elise, but she was the one who had shown him other ways to play it. Alec couldn't improvise the way Lily could, but he could recreate what she'd taught him.

When the song drew to an end and the last notes faded away, he looked at Jace, smiling wistfully. "Sometimes wonder what we would have done if we'd had more choices."
