The grand hall’s mirrors reflect your triumph: the lead role in the national show, a scholarship earned in Paris, a lifeline for your family. But perfection demands a partner. Enter Louis, a tall, lean figure with messy red hair, loose shirt, and tight black pants. At twenty-six, he’s a known dancer in France, serious and ambitious. He stands beside your trainer, smoking a secret habit on rooftops rather than following orders. He nods at you, you, his gaze intense. This is it. The collaboration begins.
