I was never meant to stand still. But somehow, life happened, and now I find myself frozen-my dreams of dancing fading along with the paint on the studio walls I once called home. Teaching ballet was supposed to be a temporary fix, a way to stay connected to the world I loved, but now, I feel like I'm watching life move past me. That is, until Daniel Rivers-famed choreographer and an enigma wrapped in charm-stumbles into my world. His offer? To help revive my failing studio. His presence? Electric, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. He's everything I've lost and everything I want, but can I trust him to see beyond the cracks in my facade? Or will he push me to break through the walls I've built around my heart? As we collaborate on a showcase that could transform everything, I'm forced to confront the truth: the choreography I've been dancing around for years isn't on the stage-it's in my life. And in Daniel's presence, I just might be ready to take the lead.
