Chapter 18

The majority of the shooting is pretty mundane. The girls turn. The cameramen glide around, catching different angles. The director stops them, has the lights rearranged, and they do it again.

“How long is this video going to be?” I ask Danika. We’re in the corner with the other unnecessary crew.

“Three minutes,” a lighting guy says.

“An hour of shooting on two cameras to get three minutes?” I ask.

“That’s how it works,” he says. “This is a short one. I’ve had thirty-second commercials take twelve hours.”

The director motions to us. “I’d like the girls in a half circle around Blitz!” he calls.

The dancers who can power themselves or have motorized wheelchairs move forward. I can see Marissa is a little fatigued. When she doesn’t move, I jump forward to push her into the circle.

I figure someone will yell at me to stay out of camera range, but no one does. Blitz kneels before them, taking Gabriella’s hand. I’m so touched, seeing it, that my eyes instantly tear up. Blitz and my little girl. Right here.

The cameraman comes beside me to catch Blitz’s face. He’s smiling up at Gabriella, but when he glances a little higher, he sees me. His expression softens. His face is radiant, full of understanding and emotion upon seeing mine.

“You really love this, don’t you, Princess?” he asks me.

I nod, afraid to speak out loud since they are filming. I slowly back away so they can get the shot with Blitz and the girls.

“I know I love it!” Gabriella says.

“Me too!” the other girls chorus.

“And I have loved spending this day with you,” Blitz says.

He goes around the circle, hugging each girl. They seem to know it’s over and some of them start crying. I know how they feel. There is a definite crash after the high of being a part of Blitz’s world.

“That’s a wrap,” the director says. “Thank you all, young ladies. This was beautiful.”

The moms come inside the room to collect their girls. The crew is a whirl, breaking things down quickly and loading up bags. I stay out of the way in the corner.

Blitz speaks with the director for a few moments, nodding and listening. He catches my eye a few times and smiles.

I’m perfectly content to stand outside his limelight and watch the craziness. I can’t imagine living this sort of life all the time. But that was what he had to do on the show. Cameras in his car. His home. During his practices and his dates. Why had he done it? The Blitz I’ve gotten to know does not seem to seek the spotlight. I’ll have to ask him how it all happened.

He breaks away from the director and heads over to our corner. Hannah, who has been on the phone, hangs up abruptly and hugs him. “You were brilliant, as always,” she says.

“Thanks.” He turns away from her to talk to me. “Can you break away from here for a little while?”

I hesitate. On Tuesdays, I head home for lunch and then go do my work at the church.
