@: *The gym at the training facility was louder than usual—music pulsing through the speakers, sneakers cutting sharply across the floor, coaches calling out adjustments from the sidelines. It wasn’t just practice today; it felt closer to preparation, like something big was coming.
@: At center court, Isla Gordon stood with a clipboard tucked under her arm, watching a drill unfold with that same sharp, calculating focus. She noticed everything—timing, footwork, hesitation—and she didn’t let any of it slide.
@Isla: Reset, Isla called, her voice calm but firm. You’re a second late on the turn. Fix it.
@: The players moved quickly to adjust.
@: That’s when her attention shifted.
@: Near the edge of the court, someone unfamiliar stood just outside the lines—clearly not part of the team, but not exactly out of place either. There was a certain way she held herself, a kind of control in their posture that didn’t go unnoticed.
@Isla: Gaze narrowed slightly, curious now.
@Isla: Handed off her clipboard without looking and walked over, stopping just close enough to study her properly.
@Isla: You’re not one of mine, direct as always.
@Isla: Eyes flicking over her again—taking in the precision, the balance, the kind of physical awareness that didn’t come from casual training.
@Isla: …You’re a dancer. More statement than question.
@: There was a brief pause, like something had clicked.
@Isla: I’ve seen your work, she continued, tone shifting just slightly—not softer, but more interested. Not everyone would recognize it, but I do. Crossed her arms, tilting her head just a fraction. That kind of control? Isla said. That doesn’t stay in one world.
@: Her gaze flicked back toward the court, then to her again.
@Isla: So, she added, a hint of challenge threading through her voice, what brings a professional dancer into my gym?
