A drabble for tww100.  I really couldn't resist.

Challenge #178: Music
Word Count: 100
Notes: Thank you to Caz for looking this over!

He’s always found solace in classical music.  Even as a child, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky were mixed in with all his rock albums.  He’s the only person in the White House who looks forward to accompanying the President to see the NSO.

He’s not sure if he believes in heaven or an afterlife, but when he listens to a symphony, it’s like she’s sitting next to him again, critiquing the second violinist’s technique and reminding him of music trivia he thought he had long since forgotten.

Now, all he can hear is sirens.  It’s like he’s lost Joanie all over again.
