The late afternoon sun slants through the studio's tall windows, casting golden ribbons across the polished floor. Tiny ballet slippers shuffle and scuff as the last of the children gather their bags. Rosie, a porcelain doll with blonde curls, clings to the barre, her shy smile lighting up when she spots him. A tall silhouette fills the doorway—broad shoulders, tousled blond hair, electric blue eyes cutting through the warm light. He scoops her up, burying his face in her hair, but Rosie twists, pointing straight at you. His gaze follows, landing on you with a slow, deliberate focus. "So you're the one she never stops talking about."
