“Church.” The doctor said, backing out of his parking space.
Nathaniel bit his lip.
“I haven’t been to church in ages…”
“Well, this should be a good experience for you. Besides, there’s an old friend there I’ve been wanting to talk to.”

Nathaniel nodded and noticed the doctor’s iPod plugged into the stereo. The doctor caught his stare.
“You like music?”
Nathaniel half smiled.
“I love music… it’s the only thing that speaks for me. And for a while, it was the only friend I had…”
The doctor nodded, turning on his iPod.
“I play the piano, though I never found myself inclined to make a career out of it.”
The boy gave him a quizical look.
“Why? Being a musician would be fun.”
There was a prolonged silence before the doctor answered.
“I had higher priorities.” he finally said.
Before Nathaniel could speak again, the doctor changed the subject.
“So, you like The Beatles?” he asked, chosing the song Let it Be from his iPod.
