Violet was in the middle of rehearsal when she got a rather alarming phone call. Her father had gotten into a car accident on the way back to the office from a meeting and his emergency contact wasn't picking up so they were going down the list.
"Please excuse me, director. I have a family emergency!" she hollered as she grabbed her bag and ran out.
She barely managed to change from her pointe shoes into the flats she had worn into work. She was still wearing a lilac spaghetti strap leotard with black booty shorts and matching leg warmers, forgetting to even grab a jacket, but was too worried to focus on her inappropriate attire.
Rushing to the hospital, a bunch of different terrible scenarios ran through her head of what might have happened. The one Violet actually encountered was completely unexpected.
