Summary Mia FINALLY chose a long black skirt and a maroon sweater to attend the concert with Adam. During the concert, Adam grasped Mia’s hand, and they both lost in the music. After that, they walked along the river. Adam admitted that the tickets didn’t get from a family friend but from his pizza-delivery tips. Adam also explained the reason why he likes Mia and how beautiful she was when she got into music. It’s a beautiful night to them. That was how they started. Mia, then, went back to reality. There were a lot of things wrong with Mia so that the surgery was needed. In the operating room, the doctors debated what music to play, and they finally decided the classic one. The surgery was taken so long that Mia wanted to go out from the operating room. When she was hanging out in the hospital, she saw her grandparents waiting outside. And then she recalled something about her grandparents. Mia recalled that they went back to Grandma’s hometown last summer. Mia gave a little concert one night. After that, someone mentioned Julliard, and Grandma took this idea so seriously that she spoke to Mia’s professor about this. After filling out her application, The Julliard School sent a letter to invite Mia to audition. Grandma volunteered to accompany Mia to the audition as Mia’s parents couldn’t go with her. Grandma also made a wonderful plan for the tourist, yet she sprained her ankle seriously a week before the tourist. And Then Grandpa took Mia to the audition instead. It’s a grueling audition, but, with Grandpa’s company, Mia still had a fantastic journey at New York.
