138 The Melody of Longing and Love

When he finally managed to reach the house and cross its threshold, he caught the pleasant smell of fried fish. He also heard a melody humming by someone. She was quite weird. Variable in its structure and harmony. Mild, a bit sad, yet full of warmth. Who was humming it? Dominik? I think so. The sound came from the kitchen.

He rubbed his eyes, angry at himself for the unmanly reaction. He took off his jacket and boots.
