"David," William said slowly, "what if I told you that there might be a way for you to perform again? What if there was a chance for you to show the world that you're back?"David's eyes filled with hope and fear at the same time. "What do you mean?"William took a deep breath. What he was about to suggest could either be the best decision he ever made, or it could ruin his career and the reputation of the concert hall. But as he looked at David's face and remembered the magical music they had all just experienced, William knew he had to take the chance.William looked around at all the faces staring at him: the orchestra members, Lisa, even Tom and Roberto were waiting to hear what he was going to say. David sat at the piano bench, his eyes full of hope, but also fear."David," William began, his voice shaking slightly, "our opening night concert is tomorrow evening."David nodded. "I know. That's why I've been listening from outside. I wanted to hear what real professional music sounds like again."William took a deep breath. "What if... what if you performed with us tomorrow night?"The silence that followed was so complete that you could hear the air conditioning humming in the background. Everyone stared at William like he had just suggested they all jump off a cliff together."William," Lisa said carefully, "are you serious?""I don't know," William admitted. "Maybe I'm crazy, but what we just experienced here... that wasn't normal. That was something special. Something that people need to hear."Jennifer spoke up. "But William, tomorrow's concert is sold out! We have donors coming, music critics, the mayor's office. These are people who paid a lot of money to hear our planned program.""I know," William said. "And that's exactly why this could work. These are people who know good music when they hear it."Carlos looked confused. "But we've been rehearsing the same program for two months: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven. We can't just throw that away and start over with one day's notice."David stood up from the piano bench. "This is a crazy idea. I appreciate what you're trying to do, William, but I can't perform in front of hundreds of people. I haven't done that in three years! I'm not even sure I remember how."
