Selena never let anyone too near. Never let them close enough to possibly hurt her. Her father died when she was young, and after her mother died many years later when she turned thirteen, that was when she broke. She broke and put up walls and shut out her heart from the world. The violin is a beautiful melody spelling a connection to her parents that can never make her feel closer with anything else.
Rhys struggles with his harmful father-in-law, and his mother has succumbed to him herself. He struggles to keep himself and his twin sister safe. The cello is something he confides in, something he uses as an escape, a sonata's notes blending into a distracting rhythm and hum in his ears to let him breathe.
So when Selena climbs her way to concertmaster during the first week of freshman year and Rhys is placed as the first chair cellist, the two get to know each other well, when said as an understatement.
They both heal their wounds and learn together. They learn how to love. And the bond they share becomes more beautiful than what any sound any orchestra could ever create.

Me Against Her (Cate Blanchett x OC)
I pointed to the cardboard boxes under the table, "All packed. It's my last day." Then I continued packing quietly, my hands bathing in the soft orange glow of dusk that illuminated the place I called home for six years. The warm and familiar scent of carpentry, dried paint, and electric cable coatings filled my nostrils, sending a jolt of pain to my heart. Minutes must have passed before she spoke up: "Don't go, Edith." "Is there something else you need help with?" "No," she stepped closer and put one hand on my cardboard box, "I mean, don't leave the company. Not yet..." The stunned look on my face and my inability to speak must've made an impact on her, because I heard a word that I never thought would come out of her mouth. "...please." ----- When Edie, a twenty-something theater administrator, is offered the chance to interview for a promotion, she jumps at it.
