This song…it was one that she had taught him. He couldn’t recall exactly when she taught him it‚ or who had been the one to teach her it. He was positive it was one of the humans‚ either John or Jade. It seemed like a song that they would know‚ sappy and cheesy. It was probably John that taught her it. Either way it didn’t
