❛ it’s always a pleasure, esme. ❜ raine is completely ignoring the irritated look on the face of her aunt’s chauffeur as he waits for her. she can’t help but drag her feet when it comes to saying goodbye to esme. she so RARELY sees her friend. every goodbye makes her want to stop time. or at LEAST begin to take more trips to paris.
❛ you make sure to use the bath salts ah’ gave you! the performance last night looked verytiring. it would be a DISASTER if the best dancer in the company developed a limp! ❜ after she draws the other into a hug she finally begins to walk to the car. they all have lives to get back to.❛ try not to make plans for this saturday? we just HAVE to get dinner before ah’ leave for new york again. ❜

CHUCKLE ESCAPES HER LIPS as Raine reaches out to her one more time and they embrace, affection overflowing. Life has been kind to the bohemian of humble roots. She has a permanent place in the theatre (in Paris! Paris!) and friends from near and afar who constantly look out for her. Blithely does she ignore Raine’s overly effusive compliment. She still has a lot to learn about dancing and is definitely not the best.
“You know you spoil me, yes? I will remember
to use the salts. We can’t let them go to waste.”
One final meeting is called for, and Esmeralda quickly agrees. Saturday will be their last performance for the season, and Esmeralda will be free. She knows a cosy restaurant Raine may enjoy.
“I will text you. What else will you be doing?”
