Description
NJ Mabini, drummer of Catholic worship band Manalig, can't stand their newest member, violinist Van Esquivel, but no matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to avoid him. When her old violin teacher comes across them grudgingly sitting together at a food park, she asks them to play a duet for a recital. NJ wonders if they can set aside their differences long enough for the performance, but turns out that they have more things in common than she thought. Maybe they can be friends, after all. And maybe...more? This story was part of Nomcom: Tropetastic Kindness Bundle 2, a charity anthology that featured all-new romance short stories from 14 #RomanceClass authors. Each author was assigned a trope and a shared setting (the fictional Nomnom Commons Food Park in Ortigas, Metro Manila). The trope for this story is "Only One Table".
