“Look at your mother. No matter how sad she feels, when she sews, only beautiful things happen. She makes a lot of people happy because of it. That’s what’s inside your mother, beautiful things, whether she always feels it or not. You and her are the same. There’s only one outcome, Esme, because once you’re in that room and the music starts, you’ll do what your heart wants even if your head is confused, and it will be beautiful too.”
