Chapter 217 "Ms. Hansen," Sherilyn shot up from her seat, her voice tinged with urgency, "that's not what I meant..." "Cut the chatter." Daphne raised her hand. “I get what you're trying to say. But a dancer proves herself on the stage! Do you think waiting to get along with everyone before stepping up makes sense? Mr. Johnson went through all that trouble to bring you here tofor what?" She fixed Sherilyn with a look that spoke volumes. "You do as told, slimming down an inch off your waist when asked." Who was Daphne? She could gauge any girl's weight and measurements in the troupe with just one glance.
Daphne turned to Sherilyn, "You've got the grit. Why not show it on the stage? Tell me, do you want to dance or not?" Being trusted felt like a blessing.

"You see," The atmosphere softened as Daphne pointed at Sherilyn. "Life is all about navigating relationships. Do you think everyone's going to like you? Focusing on your dance is what's real. Stop worrying about the what-ifs." Sherilyn listened carefully. "I'll remember that, Ms. Hansen." "Good." Pleased, Daphne joked, “Dance well. The Lightning Dance Troupe's reputation is stellar, and tickets sell out fast. If you don't make a nfor yourself, that's one thing, but don't you dare tarnish our reputation!" "Ms. Hansen."

Tonight, Edgar only took her to the beginning of Twilight Trail.
Edgar began, "I've got to head to the airport soon." Sherilyn asked out of curiosity, "Is it for work?" "Yeah," Edgar nodded. "Need to make a trip to Rainshore City. I won't be back.
for about a week." "Oh," Sherilyn quickly said, "Safe travels then. And with the tdifference, make sure to get srest." She grabbed her backpack and got out of the car. "I'll head off. I don't want to keep you." "Sherilyn!" Edgar called out to her.

Sherilyn's mind drifted back to the extravagant event hosted by the Johnson family from syllably, that grand gesture, Sylvia. All of Edgar's family and such would be at this birthday party, wouldn't they? That wouldn't be something she should be going to.
"Not like that." Edgar chuckled, shaking his head. "It won't be anything extravagant. Sylvia probably had her reasons for making it a big deal, inviting all those people. My birthday party will be a gathering with sclose friends." 10.01 Oh, in that case, that sounded fine. Sherilyn breathed a sigh of relief, considering herself one of his friends.
