A soothing afternoon

Lena strolls through the Ashwood Theater's gardens, seeking solace amidst the lush greenery. The warm sun casts a gentle glow, and the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers fills the air.

As she wanders along the winding path, she notices Sophia,a girl she had come to notice as someone different,Lena thought she seemed different,there was a kind of air she carries but she just couldn't put a pin on it,she noticed her sitting on a picturesque bench, surrounded by vibrant flowers. Sophia's eyes were closed, her face tilted towards the sun , looking so peaceful,and a soft smile graces her lips.

Lena approaches quietly, not wanting to disturb the peaceful moment. Sophia senses her presence and opens her eyes, sparkling with warmth.

"Ah, Lena, dear, join me. Let's bask in the serenity of nature."Sophia said with a calm smile gesturing her to sit.

Lena sits beside Sophia, and they sit in comfortable silence, absorbing the tranquility of the atmosphere.

Sophia breaks the silence, her voice gentle. "Tell me, Lena, what brings you joy?"she asked with a hint of curiosity

Lena's thoughts drift to her love of dance,the sole reason why she was here,she thought about the feeling of weightlessness, freedom, and expression through movement."

Sophia listens quietly and nods, her eyes twinkling. "Beautiful. Dance is a language of the soul. I, too, found solace in its elegance."

You you know to be honest I'm afraid about this journey I just endorsed in, Lena said honesty, everything seems to be happening so fast I don't know if I'm actually living my life or dancing to the tune of someone's finger

Sofia smiled as she listened,Lena fear is natural when you seem to the point of achieving your goal, a lot of doubt creeps in but I know you be among those who pass through it , Sophia advice with a little edge in her tone

Lena thoughts about what Sophia just said and asked, so what do you think about the director do you notice anything different about him, she asked finally voicing her concerns

Sophia laughed at lena's curiosity ,oh Mr Julian, there's nothing wrong with him that's the way he is, he always wants the best from the workers so do not mind if his methods are a bit weird you will surely get used to it soon,she assured

Lena still felt doubtful about the director something was a missing and she was yet to find out about it , she passed Sophia a weak smile,I pray what you say is true,I'll eventually get through it

Sophia places a reassuring hand on Lena's.Remember, dear one, your journey is unique. Embrace your light and shadows. You are stronger than you know."

Lena smiles, feeling a deep connection and gratitude towards Sophia.
