The news from the dance audition still rang fresh in her ears; rejection. But now, it was a memory. The cafe was busy, but she knew the routine.

Her phone buzzed with a text message. It was her best friend, inviting her to a movie.

Amelia grinned, arranging the cup with a quick flourish. She had a whole evening to look forward to.
