Chapter 14 - AUDREY QUITS COMPETING

Audrey stopped competitions for a year.

Not violin.

Competition.

She continued lessons.

Played chamber music.

No rankings.

No auditions.

Celina struggled with that more than the criminal case.

At family therapy, Audrey said:

“When I play and you listen, I feel like you’re counting.”

Celina asked:

“Counting what?”

“Whether I’m worth it.”

That sentence changed her.

Not overnight.

Enough.

Then Audrey’s father took over scheduling.

Two lessons a week became one.

One orchestra.

No extra coaching unless Audrey asked.

Her playing improved.

Of course.

Pressure had been using half her oxygen.
