Gabrielle stepped out into the sunlight, attracted by the soft humming.
"What's that?" she asked. "Writing another epic?"
Virgil looked up from the scroll on his lap and smiled through blurry eyes. "It's a song. Dad wrote it."
Gabrielle gave a small laugh. "Not 'Joxer the Mighty,' is it?"
"No. No, he did try to coax us into singing backup for that, but," he paused, "this one's different, I guess." He waited while she read the lyrics and grinned when her eyes widened.
"This is…" She looked up, searching for words. "This is good— this is poetry."
"Dad always said that my grandfather complained that he could sing before he could talk."
Gabrielle frowned at the scrap of parchment as if it offended her. "He should have shown me this," she said.
"Yeah." Virgil rubbed his face roughly. "I miss him, too."
