Chapter 2
They rode slowly and in silence for about fifteen minutes when Tom lit himself another cigarette.
“Toss me one too, will you?”
Tom threw the pack of cigarettes to James and he lit one up also.
Smoking and riding slowly, James looked over to his son and noticed his thumb fingernail was rather long.
“I see you play the guitar,” James broke the silence. “I do too. You play any other instruments?”
“The harmonica,” Tom was still somewhat annoyed.
“Should’ve guessed. Me too! I carry it with me at all times, and am pretty sure you do too. Want to play a piece together?”
“Sure.”
The two both reached into their inner pockets and pulled out their silver harmonicas.
“Something lively, what do you say?”
“You start and I’ll join,” by now, Tom’s face turned from a frown to a smile. They both loved to play the harmonica.
With a cigarette in one hand, James brought the instrument to his mouth and began playing a melody unknown to Tom. He kept on playing for some time until he finally realized Tom wasn’t joining in.
“Why don’t you start and I’ll join?” Tom asked and took a puff of the cigarette smoke.
Tom raised his harmonica and with the first blow got completely consumed by playing and the music and forgot all about the world around him. Shortly after, James followed suit and they rode together in musical harmony toward the rising sun.
