The Violinist and the Ballerina

By Angelin Sydney

This story begins the moment their eyes meet.

Instantly, Cathy's well-constructed world almost fell apart when she recognises Jonah. Her mind revisits the past: How long has it been? Eight years? How is it that after so many years I still feel the pain?

Involuntarily, her blue eyes moisten, but he is oblivious to her inner turmoil. Instead, he is attracted to her misty blue eyes; they glisten as they catch the reflection of neon lights making them appear like sapphires on fire. 

Miss Cathy, he later realises, is the same Cathy Goodes he had taunted, tormented, and relentlessly bullied for two years until she moved to a different school. 

Those years of being high and mighty, and cruel, has haunted him for years. Now the reality of it has come back to ratchet up the guilt one more notch.

Given the circumstances of their past, is there a chance for love to blossom? Is forgiveness possible?

Angelin Sydney

Before becoming a full-time author, Angelin Sydney was one of the most prolific contributors to fanfiction and fictionpress where her compelling style of story-telling had strong followings. She was a journalist for a daily business paper in the Philippines. Since moving to Australia many years ago, she has had numerous incarnations. She was a banker, insurance seller, housing loan broker, home-stay mother to hundreds of international students, small business operator, casual kitchen hand and a nanny. She’s really been around. Her most consistent role, however, is being a mother to four wonderful people. Sadly, one of them has gone ahead, leaving her to write stories to help others to heal, laugh, hope, and continue to dream. In all honesty, the only thing active about her is her imagination. It is as fertile as the rice fields of the Philippines where she was born. About Her Stories They are original, funny, swoon-worthy, and thrilling to the core. She’s the self-styled queen of romantic comedy and romantic thriller. Follow her on Twitter: @Angelin_Sydney and Instagram: writingangel
