Crushing Tornado

"You are planning to give up ballet for me?" Simione asked, her chest beating so rapidly out of anticipation. She couldn't believe that a day would come that Lyndon Tang would sacrifice ballet just for her. Would this day finally be the reason that all of Tang's frustration about Lyndon's chosen career would end? Would he finally leave ballet, be with her, and work on the family's business?

"Yes," Lyndon's answer did not falter. He said it straight, communicating right through the girl that this predicament was something he had thought off carefully. He was seriously going to give up all his dreams for her.

Simione didn't understand what she felt. She looked at the boy, half curious, half frustrated about what made him so desperate to do this. Was he really afraid to lose her? Why does it feel like things don't seem believable now?
