PROLOGUE 

      In a city alive with the rhythm of ambition and dreams, two sisters, Ari and Mia, navigated the complexities of love, jealousy, and ambition. Ari, the older sister, was a quiet soul with big dreams, determined to make her mark in the world. Mia, on the other hand, was bold and assertive, unafraid to take what she wanted—even if it meant competing with her own sister.

Their lives took a sharp turn when Ari met Leo, a charismatic dancer whose passion and charm captured her heart. But Leo was no stranger to the sisters—he had once been the object of Mia’s affection. Though Leo had made it clear to Mia that his feelings were not romantic, the knowledge that her sister was now growing closer to him sparked a rivalry that neither of them fully understood.

As Ari and Leo’s bond deepened, so did the tension between the sisters. Ari’s feelings for Leo grew, but she was conflicted by her loyalty to Mia and the unresolved emotions that lingered between them. Their relationship was further complicated by Leo’s own uncertainty. While there was undeniable chemistry between him and Ari, he hesitated to define their relationship, leaving Ari in a state of confusion and longing.

The story unfolds as Ari and Leo navigate their complicated feelings for each other. The dance studio becomes a place of both solace and tension, where emotions run high and unspoken words hang in the air. Each encounter between Ari and Leo brings them closer, yet pushes them apart, as they struggle with their own fears and insecurities.

Mia, watching from the sidelines, battles her own jealousy and resentment. She had once loved Leo deeply, and seeing him with her sister reopens old wounds. But Mia is not one to be easily deterred. She is determined to protect her sister, even if it means confronting her own feelings and accepting the reality of the situation.

TO HEAVEN WITH YOU

 Ari lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Her mind was swirling with confusion, hurt, and an overwhelming sense of uncertainty about her relationship with Leo. After the conversation they had just had, doubt began creeping into her thoughts, twisting her emotions into a knot that seemed impossible to untangle. 


She replayed his words over and over in her mind. "I really want us to take things slowly so I don’t get distracted in my career," he had said. Each time she thought about it, a fresh wave of hurt washed over her. A distraction? That was all she was to him? She couldn’t believe it. The way they had been so close, shared so many intimate moments—could it all have been nothing more than a fleeting distraction for him?
