âI danced for ten!â she smiled, before faltering, her nose scrunching as she was thinking.  âOr, I think it was ten? I donât know, it was on and off for awhile, but I always loved it.â And it kept her in good shape, which was probably most of the reason thatâs the major she picked. Tilly had no interest in academics. But even she knew the importance of the Bolshoi, and her brows raised, impressed.  âWow, okay,â she said. Bless, she didnât like the stiffness that she thought ballet was.  âOh, sweetie, did you not get in?â she asked, voice comforting, and she gave the womanâs arm a comforting rub.
âNo, well,â Gray sighed and then shook her head. âI was supposed to go, but then my sister was in a really bad accident. My family thought it would be better if I stayed,â she didnât know why she was trusting this stranger with this information. Maybe it was because she was a stranger? Maybe it was because she was a dancer and she understood how much Bolshoi meant to another dancer. âThen I had another opportunity- they actually gave me a second chance,â she chuckled softly. âBut uh,â she licked her lips. âBut my sister had another accident,â she shook her head as she crossed her arms. âAnd I was the one who found her, so, I couldnât just leave her there, she could have died,â she had almost left her there. She had thought about just calling 911 and leaving. Agonized about it as sheâd pulled Evie from the tub and wrapped her arms in towels. Something even Evie didnât know she had done. Sheâd never told anyone. âBolshoi doesnât give third chances,âÂ
