"Ladies and gentlemen!" he boomed. "It is my divine pleasure to introduce you to a virgin act this evening."
I could hear his smirk.
One, two, three, step, step, step, twirl.
"Never before has our Prima performed in front of such a crowd." His sillhouette swiftly made its way through the rows of people.
One, two, three, step, step, step, twirl.
"Would you like to meet her?"The applause shook the floor and my body broke into a cold sweat.
One, two, three, step, step, step, twirl.
"Ladies and gentlemen.." he paused, audience leaning in anticipation. "It is my divine pleasure....to introduce to you...the....Prima Ballerina!!"
The red curtains flew open and the blinding spotlight burned through the crowd as I stood poised on center stage.
The audeince sat in silence, awe, as I gently curtsied and glided across the floor. He threw his hands in the air, enticing the crowd, arousing gasps and awes. He presented me, showed me off with a delicate twirl. He then embraced me for a waltz, our waltz.
He leaned down close to my face for what I hoped would be a good luck kiss. He leaned into my ear and whisperd.
"They're here Victoria. I'm sorry."
