Fics like Hold and Breathe

Trained ballet dancer, Andy Sachs, teaches dance classes to make enough money to put her through grad-school. Caroline and Cassidy Priestly are enrolled in Andy's Saturday morning class amidst their parents tumultuous divorce. Excerpt from chapter 1, below: “I know today’s practice was tough”, Andy started, softly and sincerely. “Yeah, for some”, Cassidy snickered but quickly sobered up when Andy fixed her with her teacher’s stare. “But you guys have a real advantage, y’know?”, the young woman said, unlacing her shoes in preparation to change. “How so?”, Caroline asked with a tilt of her head and a pull of her lips to one side. Andy knew that the two girls must be the same age, but she couldn’t help but wager that Caroline was the younger one, even if by a technicality, and if not in reality, then in spirit. “Well, you guys have the bonus of having one of your classmates with you at home to practice and cheer you on. That’s pretty cool”, Andy said shrugging and pulling her other set of shoes out of the bag, “I wish I had that when I was going to lessons”.
