Willow’s eyes narrowed. “It sounds like you don’t want frer to succeed at all.”

Desmond frowned. “How am I not rooting for her? I love her more than anyone else in the world. I’ve given up so much for her. and I came all the way here to study abroad for her. I could have gone home and taken over the family business instead. She loves dance, so I did everything within my power to help her get back on stage. She used to be incredible. The dance world should have a star with her name on it. I just…”

“You’re just being selfish,” Willow said quietly, regretting her moment of greed.

Desmond had told her it would just make Rebecca sweat a little. He had never said they should wait until the actual performance started.

Now her heart was entirely with Rebecca. Hopefully, Rebecca could carry the whole show and let this dance drama, which she had worked so hard on, shine the way it deserved.

Willow sat there with one hand pressed to her chest, living every leap and turning right along with the dancers on stage. When the final note sounded and the piece ended, she let out a deep breath, sweating as much as the performers.

It was perfect. The thunderous applause from the international audience proved its success.

Sitting beside her was a foreigner who didn’t know much about the source material. He flipped through the program and asked her about the framework of the show.

She gladly explained the story to him. When she finished and turned back, Desmond’s seat was empty.

At some point, he had stood up and left. For a moment, she felt lost and didn’t know where to go. She probably couldn’t go back to the troupe anymore.

Desmond had gone backstage to wait for Rebecca.

The dancers returned after the curtain call, buzzing with excitement and joy over the huge success and the audience’s roaring response. The moment they saw Desmond sitting backstage, all that happy energy froze solid.

Everyone went quiet, hurrying to their stations to remove makeup and change. Rebecca came back with the understudy, both riding the high of the successful show.

The young dancer was glowing. “Coach, I did it! I really did it!”

“Yeah, everyone was incredible tonight!” Rebecca grinned, her joy bigger than anyone else’s.

She wanted to shout to the whole world, “I, Rebecca Perry, can dance again! Swallow is back on stage! [

Then a figure stepped into their path, and the understudy’s smile froze. He greeted Desmoid, then hurried off to change

Rebecca’s smile disappeared as well. “You finally showed up.”

“You sound like you were hoping I wouldn’t,” Desmond responded darkly

Rebecca was speechless. Why wouldn’t she want him to show up? His role was crucial in the entice piece Why would she wants, him gone?

She had called and texted him countless times these past few days, but he had simply ignored her And now, he had the 19 t accuse her?

With members of the troupe all there, starting an argument there would be ugly. She took a broth, waland
