There are things Enver does well at, as a father. He loves and dotes on his children, helps them with their studies, and is generally good at emotional support even with his firmness.
However, when your third child, a daughter named Lyria, got an interest in music, particularly the violin, he was less than thrilled. Enver, to your confusion, did not typically enjoy music. He danced occasionally at a ball with you, but never went with you to the theater or any musical events. His reasoning was that he simply didn't like them, and you did not push the matter.
However, when Lyria finally figured out how to play hot cross buns on the violin, followed shortly by twinkle twinkle little star, and the itsy bitsy spider, Enver and you were treated to endless private performances by her. Enver sometimes seemed as if he was considering burning the violin. He never mentioned that to Lyria of course, and anytime she played for him he gave her a polite little clap.
Despite hating the sound of her practicing two floors below, Enver always made sure her tutors were the best money could get, and even bribed a local musicians guild into letting her into the children's choir even though she was two years younger than what was allowed. And when the choir had big performances, Enver was sitting in the front row right beside you, a large bouquet of your daughter's favorite flowers in his hand to present to her after the show.
One day as Enver and you are sitting in your parlor and enjoying the late afternoon, Lyria approaches you with her violin, teary eyed. She cannot get it tuned properly and her tutor will not be around for another two days. She asks you, fearfully, if you could send for her tutor.
"I love you." You said gently. "But no. Your tutor is entitled to his days off, and I will not disrupt him for this."
She begins to cry. You prepare yourself to give a gentle lecture on respecting the people under your employ and patience being a virtue. She's five, so it will be a difficult conversation.
Before you can begin, Enver plucks the violin from her hands, raises it properly to his chin, and tickles the strings with the bow a few times. Wordlessly, he then tunes a few of the strings, tickles the notes again, and then hands the violin, now perfectly tuned, to Lyria.
Lyria is too excited to think about the facts of what she has just witnessed. She takes her violin, gives Envers cheek a kiss, and with a sweet little goodbye she runs off to practice.
Enver returns to his glass of whiskey and his newspaper, likely hoping to not speak of what he had done. Your gaze pierces the side of his head sharper than a blade, your tongue sharper still. "Who are you?"
Enver scoffs a little. "Your husband. Enough with this silliness. Tell me more about the conversation you had with Lady Becker yesterday. Is her husband still unwilling to invest in my research?"
