Chapter Twelve

REMY

Sipping a newly poured glass of wine, I clicked open the second tab on my laptop, giving up on the article I’d been working on all evening. It opened to a long list of dance studios in the area which offered programs for various styles of dance, covering nearly every experience level.

It wasn’t an alternative job, but it built on something I knew Soren enjoyed. With some training, maybe it could turn into work. He had talent and spoke so passionately about his love for the art, I couldn’t help but envision him a better future than the path he was currently on.

I scrolled through the list again, clicking and reading through descriptions.

No matter what he said, no matter what I knew to be the facts of his work, I couldn’t ignore the feelings growing inside me. Especially, hearing they might be returned. Maybe I was stepping on toes and he’d eventually tell me to get lost, but I needed to try. He was so defeated. So convinced that his life was predetermined and couldn’t be better.

I checked the clock on the wall. Ten-thirty. As I drained my glass of wine, I closed the tabs from my search and shut down my laptop. Perhaps he didn’t expect to ever see me again. But, the idea of leaving him in the hands of those men, knowing the way he felt about it and hearing from his own mouth that he despised his job, I couldn’t stay away.

I returned my laptop to my office and my wine glass to the sink, where I washed it before re-placing it in the wine cabinet. Ensuring I spent as little time as possible doing routine checks, I grabbed a light jacket to wear over my steel grey sweater and left.

Soren had captured something in me and since seeing him that past Monday, I couldn’t consider letting him go.
