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 woke up sluggishly to the loud, persistent ringing of her alarm. With a groan, she turned it off and was about to roll over to catch a few more minutes of sleep when it hit her—she had an early flight. She shot up in bed, suddenly wide awake, her mind racing. “How could I almost forget?” she thought, quickly jumping out of bed. She rushed to the bathroom for a quick shower, grateful that she hadn’t overslept. 


The thought of going back home to London filled her with a strange mix of relief and excitement. She had so much to catch up on, especially meeting the so-called Jason, the family friend’s son her mother had spoken so highly of. Ari wasn’t exactly looking forward to it, but she was curious. Besides, her mother seemed determined to introduce them. But most of all, she was relieved that she wouldn’t have to face Leo for at least a few days. She needed time—time to sort through the mess of emotions he had stirred up in her again.
