You're going to have to excuse my snippet today, but I've done some major (crazy) editing to stick to the guidelines. In last week's snippet, Ayla was celebrating the end of the ballet season with her colleague, Kate, when they saw Grisha in the same disco. He's now approached them.
It's probable that this will be the last snippet I'll share from this story for some time. I want to finish editing this baby and I've got an upcoming release real soon which I want to show you guys. :)
Enjoy and have a lovely day!

Grisha
appeared at their side, the intense look in his eyes making her knees weak.
“Good night, ladies, you must forgive me for intruding,
but I recognized you from tonight’s performance and wanted to congratulate you
on a splendid show.”
“Thank
you,” Katie said.
“I was brought to tears by your performance as
Giselle,” Grisha continued.
Ayla stared at him, blankly and Katie pinched her arm making her jump and spill half her drink over her hand.
“Excuse me, I think I see Monica calling me, so I'll talk to you later, Ayla.”
“Katie—“
But Katie ignored her, disappearing into the
crowd. Ayla dragged her gaze to the left and upward. Grisha stood
like an unmovable wall in front of her, his blue eyes twinkling in the dim light.

Gotta love those intense gazes that make you feel as if he sees only you in the crowd.
