"All of the employees of the theatre will have more faith if it stays in the family," Rae said. "Of course you're not your grandfather but you're you and I think you could figure it out."

"I can't," Aiden told her, more forcefully. "I was the screwup. Only reason why it went to me is because my father and brother are in jail for fraud."

Raven gaped at him, "So...so you're just going to give up? How are you a screw up? I don't understand. How do you know if you don't even try?" She didn't know why she wanted him to keep it so badly...yes she did know, because of his grandfather and because of how much the theatre meant to her.
Rae got up slowly from the chaise and walked over to him. She took his hands in hers. "I could help you."

He let go of her hands, backing away. "Thanks for breakfast, Rae. You're a beautiful ballerina. Honestly the best I've ever seen." He reached for his coat.

Raven stared after him, watching him put his coat on. He didn't know what to say. "why are you going? Wait..." she went over to him.

He looked at her. "I'll see you around, pretty girl." he rubbed her arm and buttoned up his coat.

Rae smiled and then said goodbye. She locked up the door after him and sighed. Pickles meowed at her feet and she rolled her eyes. "What?" She asked the cat, "Don't look at me like that...I can't actually bend well right now, come on..." She wandered off toward the kitchen.

A few days later, Aiden was in his grandfather's old office doing paperwork.

Rae knocked on the door and pushed open the door. "You asked for me?" She said as she stepped inside.
She had just finished taking morning class, her pointe shoes still on, stray pieces of hair falling around her face from her messy bun. She had a sweater wrapped around her body to keep out the chill.

Aiden looked up at her. "please. Sit." he gestured to the chair.

Rae raised a brow at him and then sat down in the chair he motioned toward, "Is something wrong?"

Rae stared at him dumbly for a moment and then smiled, "I'd love to." She said, "What time should I be ready?"
