Her musclesknew e?actly what to dothanks to years of training and her passion.Arabesque, jet, bris.
9、Love and ?oy filled her, lifted her. Her tiny skirtflared around her thighs, and she lifted her arms gracefully above her head.It didnt matter that the stage and audience were small. This was a tiny,private performance, but for Saskia, dancing was dancing.It didnt matter if she was performing for on
10、e person, or a crowd at theRoyal ?pera House in London. Dancing was her heart and soul.Shed danced for royalty and presidents. Shed been the lead in the mostfamous balletsRomeo and Juliet, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake. Shedshared the stage with some of the worlds best dancers.She always put everything
11、she had into the dance, because it was acompulsion inside her. She leaped into a grand jet.For that second, she was soaring.She leaped again, and whirled into another turn.The music ended, and Saskia bent over, her arms out.There was a moment of pure silence.Then applause erupted.She straightened an

Some were losing their leaves as winter made itsapproach.Her heart was beating hard, and she pulled in some breaths and kept herpracticed smile in place.Now

Saskia kept her smile inplace, but inside she feltnot so much. It had been happening a lot lately.While she loved to dance
15、, performing and her grueling practices didnt giveher the same sense of satisfaction anymore.Yes, she really, really wanted to be home at her apartment with that mugof hot chocolate. Her heart clenched. And maybe a secret phone call laterwith the man she couldnt stop thinking about.?ther dancers pra

She looked e?tremely pleased, hercheeks glowing.Saskia managed a real smile. Danie had begged her to come today. Notall dancers made good money like Saskia did. These privat
17、e performancesfor wealthy clients paid well. Saskia hadnt wanted to do it, but Danie hadsaid that the patron had re?uested Saskia personally.She took another bow. The organi?er, Chada well-dressed man with aclipped New York accent, blond hair, sharp suit, and an over-wide smilecarried out a bunch of

She was bui
