“Hey, wait up,” Lash hailed.

Ana’s adrenaline was still pumping from the day’s triumph. She knew she made an impression on him. She wondered if his initial opinion that she wasn’t good enough had changed.

“Yes,” Ana replied, eyes shining.

“You were great today, Ana.” He complimented her.

“Thank you…”

“So great that you will no longer be dancing with the rest of the girls, Lash announced.

“You’re firing me?” Ana asked, suddenly confused.

Lash inhaled and replied, “on the contrary, I’m promoting you. Romina has resigned. You are taking her place as the company’s main female dancer.”

The announcement was unexpected. If someone struck her with a feather, Ana would still totter backward. She stood there with mouth open wide. Still incredulous, if she heard correctly, a part of her hoped this wasn’t a dream while another part said it was not going to end well for her heart.
