Noah hadn't been terribly concerned when Violet told him Jeremy Ward was treating her to dinner. His dad had previously described the guy as 'Aaron 2.0' because he was even more business-minded and didn't have any attachments to other humans whatsoever.
He probably thought of it as nothing more than repaying a debt. People could be weird about not wanting to owe anybody sometimes.
Since Violet wasn't going to get out from rehearsals until 8 PM the following day, Noah decided to bring her dinner. A turkey sandwich on wholegrain bread ought to do the trick. As a dancer, she had to eat a whole lot of protein to repair constantly damaged muscles.
Over the past couple of years, he had been to her studio dozens of times to drop things off so he knew his way around. The person up front let him go right back. It was a few minutes to six so all of the other dancers were packing up for the night but Violet was in the middle of a dance sequence.
