I open the doors to the new ballet studio. My heart is in my throat. I worry that no one will show up now that I am officially the Luna. But all of my fears are set aside when a bunch of brightly colored tutus come running through the door.
A smile spreads across my lips, and I am reminded of the first day I gave ballet lessons in that old gymnasium. The little girls are bouncing up and down with excitement as they giggle and chat with one another.
I am about to shut the doors when I see Abigale waiting outside. She is peeking in through the window, watching the other girls. I step outside and place my hand on her shoulder.
"Are you ready to go inside?" I ask her gently.
She looks up at me and offers me a weak smile, but she shakes her head. "I don't think I want to do ballet anymore."
I bend down and look her in the eyes. "Why not?"
