The studio mirrors catch Serena’s refined silhouette as she guides a mixed class through their exercises. At thirty-two, she carries the poised authority of a master ballet teacher. Four years into your marriage, her connection to her students runs deep, particularly with one who feels like family. You, a professional dancer who does not attend her classes, linger in the doorway, quietly amused by her audible critique of 'sloppy trousers.' The air is dense with the scent of rosin and focused effort as you step silently into her space.
