Chapter 38: Promises

Gisella watched from the side lines as her troupe performed the show without her. Otho and Roseia were up first and the two of them, despite their sudden change in routine and Otho’s lack of current physical strength, performed without any mistakes.

Roseia was a strong woman. Gisella watched as her muscles moved and constricted against her skin each time she caught Otho or braced herself on the ground. It was a duo act, much different to the one Gisella performed and a part of her was grateful for her injury.
