Violet was relieved Jeremy didn't press further. Nobody but her parents and Noah knew that was why she had become a professional ballerina instead of dancing only as a hobby until now.
She had been praised for her intelligence since she was a little girl; she could have gone on to do anything. Her teachers had been surprised when the career consultations came around in high school and she said she was going to become a ballerina. Her science and math grades were so high they expected her to go into some sort of academic field.
While she did have her mother's natural aptitude for such things, they didn't interest her one bit. She preferred the emotional release that came from dancing. Not every smart person could become a scientist.
