I twirl on pointe for a few seconds, then jump into Ryan’s arms a fraction of a second early. He extends his hands, but he misses by a breath. It’s a single breath. Just one. Time freezes for a moment and everything turns into white noise. Both of our eyes widen as I land in an unnatural position. Shock ripples through my leg and then a haunting, ugly sound echoes in the air. Pop.
NOOOO WHAT?!?!
