Amanda stepped into her home studio, beaming from ear to ear. She loved this place--built just for her by her wonderful hubby. Niels had done an amazing job, building the dance studio in the basement of their villa. It'd turned out even better tan Amanda could imagine. As she wove the ribbons of her pointe shoes around her ankles, her mind wandered back to the days when dance was her life. There was a time when she felt most at home in the dance studio, and most comfortable on stage. She could've been a prima ballerina. In fact, she had been making great strides towards that goal, but somewhere along the road, she'd given up that dream. There were no regrets in her mind, but for a moment she tried to fathom whether or not she could live up her dream of becoming a prima ballerina. As she stood and began warming up on the ballet barre, she heard Niels call out to her. She turned towards the source of the sound and spotted Niels standing in the doorway of the studio with Emilia in his arms. "Mama!" Emi squeaked as Niels set her down. The infant toddled over to Amanda, dressed fully dressed as though ready for a ballet lesson. Amanda practically squaled with delight. "Oh my goodness. Niels! That's so adorable!" she exclaimed. She smiled widely, her childhood dream forgotten. She remembered just why she'd given up on that dream now. It was for the current dream she was living--a wonderful life with her husband and child. One in which she could devote all of her energy to caring for her family. That was worth more than all the fame and fortune in the world. Now, looking at her little princess, she knew she had made the right decision. Comments #1. She's so adorable... Both of you are!!
