Lucy looked away and got in. "Spring City."

Violeta and the Nelson sisters picked up the gift and then took a taxi to Spring City.

"Everyone coming tonight are veterans in the dance world. Our teacher will introduce you to everyone. After all, you are her last disciple!"

They arrived at Spring City.

Violeta didn't pay much attention and glanced past it.
