The night of the premiere arrived, the Horizon Theater packed with critics, sponsors, and Ethan in the front row. Lila stood backstage, her pulse racing. The music swelled, her dancers took the stage, and her story unfolded—love, loss, and redemption, told through every leap and turn.
The audience erupted in applause, but Lila's eyes found Ethan's. His proud smile was all she needed.
