The Violinist and the Ballerina

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?
