Onlooker

 

             

Liv couldn't sleep and went to the hall first thing in the morning. When she was getting ready for the excercise, she heard a familiar voice.

- Long time no see. I've thought you've given up. - the woman laughed and sat at the edge of the  sofa.

Liv looked at her and smiled slightly.

- Yeah. You know how it is. Lots of work.

        

Liv stood up and somebody knocked at the door heavily. The ballet school owner Juliia, had uneasy look on her face.

- Don't bother yourself. I must... Take care of some things.

She quickly went to her office and Liv took care of her workout. Julia's behavior was strange and Liv was still half ready to help if needed.

She danced to keep her legs reminded about her dream that she had since childhood. For Liv, ballet was something more than dance. It was a memory of her father, who always stood by her and her dreams. Everything seemed so easy back than...

        

She let herself be taken by the music and started to dance with earphones on. She felt someones gaze upon her but didn't bother to stop. A man was looking at her, hipnotized with her sight. For years he didn't saw such passion. He felt like he had to have her. Another man snaped him from his trance.

        

- Boss, it's done. Are we going back?

Seth, a dark haired man just noded. He gazed on Liv one last time before he left. She saw him at the same moment when she turned her head. She froze when she saw something familiar in his face in the half darkness. She was hunting someone for years as a police woman and he... No... Imppssible. She sqinted her eyes and felt distressed in his gaze. "What's wrong with you, Liv?!" - she thought to herself irritated. She knew that this night she also won't sleep very well.
