Aiden took a seat at their table and watched Raven dance with the older man. She was playing the part perfectly, a lot better than he had expected.

Aiden grinned. "Well done." He gestured for her to join him at the table. Dinner was being served soon. "So where'd you grow up?" He asked her to be polite as salad was being served.

"when I was old enough, your grandfather came and got me. My mom was a ballerina," she said with a shrug, "he thought I'd have natural talent. So I lived at the ballet school until I was 18."

Aiden wasn't surprised. "His whole life was that theater. He was less of a kind man than needing to be the best."

Rae nodded and then chewed her bottom lip, "He...knew what he wanted from you." She said. She didn't know another way to put it. "It must have been hard, growing up with a grandfather like that. He was very pushy."

"Yeah, it was." She said with a huge smiled. "Mr. Helberg asked if I came with the theatre." She glanced across the table at him, still smiling although it didn't match her eyes. She looked back at Spot.

"Yes..." Rae said, "but some men...well, some men of high social standing think we're all whores and vagrants. It never actually accured to him that I could be a lady." She smirked at Spot.
