Despairing (adjective): showing the loss of all hope.
Cordelia Skye Lukasiak lost all sense of hope the moment Maddie entered the picture. Unlike Maddie, she wasn't handed opportunities on a silver platter-no matter how hard she worked, recognition never came. Her dedication, her talent, her countless hours of effort... all overlooked. Nothing was ever enough.
Now, as she enters her preteen years, Cordelia wants nothing to do with dance anymore. The stage that once brought her joy now feels like a place of quiet defeat. But giving up isn't so simple when you're a prodigy-skating, singing, dancing, acting... it's all in her blood.
The real question is: with the weight of expectations and the shadows of comparison, how is she going to keep figure skating a secret-and more importantly, keep her spirit alive?
