ISABELLA

“Nice work today, Isabella, that arabesque on your left side is looking really strong.”

I give Mrs. Martin a grateful nod. “Thank you. It’s starting to feel good, too.”

When she turns to the next class of dancers, it occurs to me that I didn’t have my usual reaction to a dance compliment. Usually, a compliment would come with an overwhelming sense of relief–a confirmation that I’m actually good at this thing that I do. That I’m living up to my potential.

Right now, the only thing I feel is happy that I got a compliment.

They’re missing the best parts of you.

Kane’s words from yesterday suddenly appear at the forefront of my mind.

That moment, that simple comment, shook the very foundation of my world. Because he wasn’t trying to sell it to me, or convince me that ballet isn’t everything, the way that everyone did after my accident. He wasn’t lying just to seduce me–he was just being comfortably honest.

And it hit me, then, that I’ve been searching for that validation ever since my accident.

And he gave it to me, accidentally, during a playful moment between friends.

I knew Kane was a caring, genuine person even before yesterday. I guessed when I saw the defensive walls he put up, and I knew when he rescued Oscar. Seeing how he acted with me during and after the mugging only solidified that knowledge in my brain. Even without knowing everything he told me about his past, I’d still have the same opinion of him.

But now, hearing what he thinks of me…

You could be the greatest dancer that ever lived, and I'd still think the rest of you was more valuable.

It just makes me appreciate him even more.

So of course, he chooses that moment to text me.
