Dance Therapy
She knew when she woke up this morning that it was going to be a bad day, and she was not disappointed. When she arrived home the first thing that she did was push her couch to the wall and cleaning anything else up that might get in her way. Then she headed to the bedroom and shed her work clothes, replacing them with pink tights and a black leotard. Sitting down on the edge of her bed, she pulled a box towards her. Inside were her pointe shoes. She taped her feet up and then slipped her feet into the shoes and tied the ribbons tightly. She went back out to the living room and dusted her feet in a rosin box she kept by the door. Then, she went to the center of the room and positioned herself in first position and plied. Then again, and then grand plie. Then she did it again in second position. Demi, demi, grand, demi, demi, grand. Her body slipped into a familiar rhythm and she let go.
He opened the door and found her in the middle of her living room, in ballet shoes, dancing. She had her eyes shut and was letting her body do all the worked. His breath hitched, she had never looked so beautiful. He quietly sat down on a chair and continued to watch her. She finished her warm up and began to pirouette, her eyes still closed. Her body spun and spun, and all he could do was watch in awe. Then, she faltered, lost her balance and began to fall. He was up in a flash and caught her in his arms just before she hit the floor. She smiled and looked up at him, her eyes saying it all. He slowly raised her to a standing position, not letting go of her.
His arm circled her waist, her hand found his shoulder, and their other hands found each other. They slowly began to dance. He pulled her closer, causing her breath to hitch. She leaned her head on his shoulder, inhaling his scent deeply. He kissed the top of her head as they continued to slowly dance.
A/N: So, I know that it's shorter than the others, but oh well. You know the drill, review! Cause it makes me happy, and trust me, if you want character's to stay alive, you want me happy.
