Dance Till You Drop (2015)
“Everyone spilled out of the ballroom and down the stairs. I slipped to one side and took a big breath. I hadn’t fallen on my face. No one had pointed and laughed at my sickled feet or bent back knee and I hadn’t crashed into anyone on the travelling steps.
But my legs and arms felt loose and wobbly, as if there was nothing inside holding my body together.
I stumbled over to the water cooler and took a paper cup.
Jasmine was already there, taking tiny sips. Her face was quite red and she looked ...very frazzled and un-Jasminey.
