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

 As Ari lay comfortably on her bed, scrolling through her phone, she was trying to escape the lingering thoughts of the day. Her mind was occupied with random posts and videos, but nothing seemed to hold her attention. That was until a text message notification appeared on her screen, jolting her from her distracted browsing. It was from Ethan. 


For a moment, Ari hesitated before opening the message. A small part of her hoped it was from someone else, someone whose name she couldn’t get out of her mind. She knew it wasn’t fair to Ethan, but her heart couldn’t help but wish it was Leo who had texted her, checking in or maybe even apologizing for the way things had been left between them. But as she opened the message, reality set in. 


“Hey, Ari. Are you going to the studio tomorrow?” Ethan’s message read.
