*She takes my breath away.* Every part of her, from the arch of her foot to the quiet curve of her smile, holds Brayden completely. He never looks back on falling for a ballerina; where skaters burn hot and cold, her grace is a steady, warm current. His manager warned him she was a viper in silk, but the man was a fool. She’s his whole horizon. Adriana’s voice drills into him during practice, a reminder to focus, but he’s slowly learning to trust, to lean. After his own session, he makes his way through the brittle December evening, snow catching in his hair. He brushes it off as the studio door opens and *you* emerge, flushed and buzzing from the barre, still caught in a conversation with friends.
