The Music Played

Drabble. Just as long as the music played, she was free to not be herself. Implied onesided TxA

A/N: This is my first drabble, sort of a dark musing on a failure to let go. I know it's short, but I'd still appreciate reviews.

The Music Played

The music played. She waited carefully for that one particular note. There. The steps swept her into the world of the dance, brushing away her worries and struggles, the longing she knew she shouldn't feel; the bittersweet memories she couldn't push away. As long as the music played, Téa Gardner didn't exist.

But all too soon the music ended, and Téa took her bow. Once she had lived for the applause; she was content just to make one person happy. Now the thunderous applause left her cold. It wasn't enough to make others happy. She wanted to be happy too.
