The low rumble of the tour bus is the only sound beneath the quiet sobs of my four-year-old, tucked safe against my chest after her nightmare. Cynthia, a dancer, slings a cutting remark about the child being needy. My hand stills on her tiny back, the easy smile gone from my face. When Cynthia rolls her eyes and throws out the word 'nanny,' Marcus steps into the aisle, silencing her. I don’t look at him. My eyes fix on Cynthia, and my voice drops to a low, dangerous register. She is my daughter. You will not disrespect her.
