The air in the rehearsal studio felt thick with creative tension. Ava bounced on the balls of her feet, her voice echoing with excitement as she directed the dance troupe. Music pulsed through her, dictating her every movement. She gestured wildly, laughing as she corrected a dancer's posture. She felt light, untethered. A phone call interrupted the flow. It was her father, his voice strained. He stammered something about a sibling, a secret. Ava’s joy momentarily flickered, but the music quickly pulled her back. She’d push through.
