Nathan listened to his sister's explanation about her show intently up until the timer for the apple rose puffs went off. The only time she showed any real passion about anything was when she talked about dance. The rest of the time, she could be pretty apathetic.
Most people were under the impression that Violet didn't care about anything but that was because they never heard her go on forever and a day about dance. The way her entire countenance lit up while talking about her passion completely transformed her often expressionless face.
Typically, she was too embarrassed to talk about how she felt about dance with people. Noah and her family members were the only people she really felt comfortable around, which Nathan thought was a pity. Violet might have more friends if she showed them how bright and lively she could be when discussing something that mattered to her.
