Mia's fingers moved over the fingerboard of her cello seamlessly as if she and the instrument were one. The bow moved fluidly over the strings bringing the melody on paper to life. 640Please respect copyright.PENANA4JanAQRsWj
She was lost in the world music created for her. A world away from her horrific past and haunting memories. She was so lost that she never noticed the young man standing a few feet away. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAFrGc8eOQQU
As she let the final note resonate through the room, he coughed slightly and she looked up startled. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAHe4RiTpwhY
"Who are you?" she asked, setting her cello and bow on the ground. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAidhXusF2XI
"Your destiny," he replied. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ixBKtGCH
She surveyed him carefully, taking in every inch of his tall height and lanky limbs. His skin was somewhere in between pale and tanned and his dark hair was styled away from his face. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAhydKxACiWS
"Well, Mr tall, dark and handsome, why exactly are you watching me?" she said, taking another step towards the boy.640Please respect copyright.PENANA3aj9O7DPTq
"Watching isn't exactly the correct term but never mind."640Please respect copyright.PENANADtKqYDDzJn
He smiled as if he was laughing at a joke and she took yet another inquisitive step towards him. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAp9cd6BS2ci
"I'm Mia, it's nice to meet you." 640Please respect copyright.PENANAXt4vJ9TAui
She offered her hand for him to shake but he didn't take it. Instead he replied by saying, "I'm Isaac." 640Please respect copyright.PENANAM3t85ugffM
He too stuck his hand out but it wasn't anywhere near hers. Mia chose not to point this out and took his hand, shaking it firmly. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAN814GGZhSa
"I wish I could say you're beautiful," Isaac said when their hands finally lost contact. 640Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bknj5cDtH
Mia frowned. She couldn't quite tell whether that was supposed to be an insult or not. "Oh," she whispered.640Please respect copyright.PENANA62kpYNDses
"Oh no, that's not what I meant!" he exclaimed, grabbing at the air as if he was reaching for her hands. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAgAu5vdqfk4
"What did you mean then?" she asked, taking his hands in hers.640Please respect copyright.PENANAJZUtiw5lWN
This seemed to settle him and he removed his hands only to wrap them around hers. They both flinched as the stick he was carrying dropped to the ground and Isaac pulled her closer. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAQfkfvBUaJh
"I can't actually see you," he said slowly and she laughed. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAuCwlUQ4SyB
"Take off those dark glasses then silly." 640Please respect copyright.PENANA9g63BBO4fJ
He placed a hand on her hip and used the other to caress her face. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAkybaKYYxG9
"What colour are your eyes?" he asked, as he trailed his fingers down her cheekbone. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAdqUBQirsa3
"Green," Mia murmured.640Please respect copyright.PENANA5BH7ifo4Vn
"You play beautifully," he added, as if trying to distract her from something.640Please respect copyright.PENANAl2Ho64LPWD
"Surely you can see the colour of my eyes though," Mia pressed, confused by the stunning boy before him. 640Please respect copyright.PENANA65I01wJ1qK
He smiled softly, pulling her into a tighter embrace. "I'm blind Mia," he whispered. 640Please respect copyright.PENANAlTaV5EivMZ
