Chapitre 127: Meeting Annabella

Just a day before the big opening event, Natalie found herself surrounded by the twirls and giggles of little Annabella in the dance studio of the workshop. The adorable girl had a tiara on her head and a cute pink tutu that bounced along with her. Initially, Natalie thought it was all about the tiara and the ballerina image, but soon she realized Annabella had a true passion for dancing and a lot of raw talent.

"Can you show me how to stand on my toes again, Natalie?"

"Absolutely!"

With some soft music playing, Natalie guided Annabella through the basics of ballet explaining positions and demonstrating a move then watching as the little girl mimicked her with surprising precision. They were halfway through their third move when Natalie heard footsteps approaching the studio.

"Kev?" she called out.

While she expected Kevin to be in the workshop, the true surprise was seeing Alonso walking after him.
