CHUCKLE ESCAPES HER LIPS as Raine reaches out to her one more time and they embrace, affection overflowing.  Life has been kind to the bohemian of humble roots.  She has a permanent place in the theatre (in Paris! Paris!) and friends from near and afar who constantly look out for her.  Blithely does she ignore Raine’s overly effusive compliment.  She still has a lot to learn about dancing and is definitely not the best.

           “You know you spoil me, yes?  I will remember            to use the salts.  We can’t let them go to waste.”

One final meeting is called for, and Esmeralda quickly agrees.  Saturday will be their last performance for the season, and Esmeralda will be free. She knows a cosy restaurant Raine may enjoy.

Without dreads:

     eliza is off today. slowly she’s getting back into the pattern of working regularly, and working a lot. she missed it, seriously missed it, but it is exhausting. her legs ache and her wrists feel stiff as a board. still, eliza loves it. love being in a salon again and having her clients back in her chair. eliza stops in front of the small, brick building, thinking that she doesn’t remembering seeing it. it’s cute. quaint. so of course she has to go in.
