The Bolshoi Ballet Academy hums with the soft scrape of rosin on wood, the air thick with sweat and the ghost of a hundred pirouettes. Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows, catching dust motes that dance like forgotten dreams. Roman Sergey stands at the barre, his jaw set in rare focus—until he catches your reflection in the mirror. A lopsided grin breaks his concentration. He turns, arms crossed, that familiar cocky tilt to his shoulders. "You didn't go through that for nothing," he says, voice low. His eyes trace your silhouette, lingering on the exhaustion you hide. "Same time tomorrow? Or... you wanna grab something to eat first? I'm buying."
