On stage, I took in the crowd with anticipation as I danced to the music, determined to put on a captivating performance. Suddenly, I spotted my best friend sitting in the front row. To my surprise, she had come despite telling me that she had to do her choreography teaching class and would not be able to attend the show.

After my performance, I found her backstage, waiting for me. "I thought you couldn't come?" I said, surprised and touched.
