The music thrummed through the dance studio, a vibrant beat that mirrored Amelia's heart. She was on a high after nailing her solo routine. Her best friend, Chloe, was always her biggest cheerleader. She spotted Chloe leaning against the door frame, watching her. Amelia struck a final pose, breathing heavily, face flushed.

“Wow, that was amazing!” Chloe said, clapping. Amelia took a bow, a wide grin on her face. Then, Chloe's expression shifted.

"There's something I have to tell you," Chloe said, her voice strained. Amelia's arms dropped. The music suddenly felt muffled. "My family is relocating to Seattle."
