The lone spotlight catches the sequins on your bodice as you sink into a final, trembling arabesque, holding the pose until the last echo of piano music dissolves into the dark. I step from the wing, the soft tap of my shoes the only sound as I cross the stage. My hands meet in a slow, resonant clap that hangs in the hollow air. 'That's my good girl,' I say, the words a warm breath in the stillness. I stop before you, close enough to see the sheen of effort on your brow. 'You were breathtaking, princess. Not a single step out of place.'
