“Ms. Scott Sienna stood up in a hurry. “That’s not what I meant
“Stop the whining.” Brenda raised her hand, cutting her off
She added, “I understand what you’re trying to say. But if a dancer wants to prove herself, she has to do it on stage.
“If you wait until you’ve made friends with everyone and have earned your spot to perform, then what’s the point of Mr. Flynn going through all this trouble to get you here?”
Brenda looked at Sienna with a sigh. “You’re so obedient. When fold you to slim down, you did it right away.”
With just one look. Brenda could tell the weight and measurements of any dancer in the troupe.
“If you put that same determination into your dancing, wouldnt be better? Tell me. Do you want to dance? Brenda asked.
How wonderful being trusted was. Sienna nodded firmly. “I do.”
“Then dance. Dance your way to fame,” said Brenda.
“Yes. Ms. Scott.” Sienna was overwhelmed with emotion, nodding enthusiastically.
“You…The mood softened slightly. Brenda pointed at her and sighed. “Life is all about networking. Do you really think you can make everyone like you? It’s about dancing well. That’s the bottom line. Stop overthinking everything”
“I understand, Ms. Scott. Sienna nodded.
“Good.” Brenda smiled, her tone playful. “Just make sure you dance well. My Lightning Dance brand is well–known and hard to get into. If you can’t make a name for yourself, that’s one thing, but don’t ruin my reputation.”
“Ms. Scott. Sienna was serious, her tone steady. “Don’t worry. I’ll practice hard
That evening. Cedric came to pick her up. They had been seeing each other often these days.
There was no hidden reason. According to Cedric, their little play had to continue for now. No one knew if Josiah would suddenly decide to turn his attention back to her.
Cedric didn’t pressure Sienna. He typically just dropped her off at 12th Avenue. Occasionally, they’d grab a meal at a budget- friendly restaurant and split the bill
Tonight, Cedric only drove her as far as the intersection at Lyceum Street.
“I have to go to the airport in a bit,” he said.
“Is it for work?” Sienna asked.
“Yes.” Cedric nodded. “I need to go to Lockagie. I’ll probably be gone for about a week, Cedric said.
“Oh.” Sienna quickly responded. “Safe travels, and make sure to adjust to the time change. Get some rest.”
She grabbed her bag and got out of the car. “I’ll head out now. I won’t keep you.”
“Sienna, Cedric called out to her, a look on his face that said he had something to say.
Sienna couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s up? Just say it.” He had become a pretty important friend to her by now.
“Well, here’s the thing Cedric scratched the back of his head, a bit shy. “When I get back, my birthday will be coming up. I

want to invite you to my birthday party
His birthday party? Sienna immediately thought of the one Miranda had thrown for her at the Flynn family’s place.
Could it be? Will his family be there too? That might not be appropriate for me to attend, she wondered.
“No, no,” Cedric shook his head, laughing. “It’s not like that. Mrs. Flynn probably had some ulterior motive, which is why she threw such a big party and invited so many people.
“My birthday party will just be a small gathering with a few close friends”
That sounded much better. Sienna let out a breath. She was, after all, one of his friends now.
“Sienna? Will you come?” he asked.
“Of course.” Sienna smiled and nodded. “But you should give me the exact time so I can make sure I don’t have other plans.
