   Summary

   'A soft breeze on a June night and you? What a perfect setting for letting dreams come true...'

   The needle jumped and skipped before the second verse had a chance to begin, replaying the same two lines just as it always did. They had long known it could easily be replaced, that they could visit the little music shop in the village and purchase a new copy - for years they had talked about it, even joked about it. Truthfully though, neither of them ever wanted to. To anyone else, it sounded like the soulful beginning to another of Billie Holiday's hits - but to to them, with all its crackles and stutters, it sounded like the beginning of everything.
