“So, why do you dance? For her or for you?”

“I figured the least I can do is carry on her dream if she can’t.”

“I don’t know much about dancers, but athletes’ careers aren’t forever. Your mom was going to have to stop eventually. I can only imagine what a professional dancer’s body goes through. The toll it takes.”

“Yeah, but she should’ve been able to quit when she was ready. Not be forced into it because of me. She’s the reason I’m going to Berkeley, you know.”

“She went there too?”

She huffs a laugh. “No. She was supposed to. The blame for that is on my dad—he convinced her to go to NYU—but I thought maybe she’d like seeing Berkeley through my eyes. Like I can make up for her missing Broadway by giving her a front row seat to something she didn’t experience.”

“Nova.” I chide with a light chuckle to not offend. “I think there’s some misplaced guilt here.”

“You try living in Ruby ‘The Legend’ Pratt’s shadow.”

“I guess I wouldn’t know.”

Maybe it’s good Dad left when I was young, and Mom was always busy. There were no expectations placed on Willa and me. We were just doing our best to get by.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean that as a you-me thing, like my life was so much harder. I was just thinking out loud.”

“No, I get it. Life without a dad would be hard. What I meant was…you don’t know how it feels to live with the knowledge that you’re the reason someone’s entire life changed, the reason their career ended.”

I pop up to my elbow, my pulse pounding in my ears. “No, I just know how it feels to live with the idea that I wasn’t wanted at all.” I shake my head, noting the edge of sympathy in her eyes. “I don’t need pity, Nova. It’s just a fact. Do you think Willa holds Clem responsible for the changes in her life? That she wouldn’t say that every altered plan was worth it?”

Nova’s mouth twists as her brows pull together.

“That is the part of your story I’d tell you was wrong.”

“What?” she asks.

“You said other than your dad, dancing is your mom’s one true passion. I bet if I asked her, she’d put you and your brothers and sister before dance. Just like Clem comes before anything Willa ever thought she’d do with her life. I guarantee you, your mom loves you more than she misses what she didn’t get to do.”

Nova tucks her hands beneath her cheek. “Is that your subtle way of telling me to quit whining? Poor little rich girl complaining about mommy not loving her.”

“I’m telling you there are worse things, Spitfire.”

“Like being forced to watch two musicals in one week?”

I laugh. “Like being forced to keep my hands to myself when all I want is to cross this room and finish the kiss you started tonight.”

Nova’s bottom lip tucks between her teeth, and my hell. “Nobody’s forcing you to stay in your bed, Dev.”

“I am.” I lay back down and train my eyes on the ceiling. “With every ounce of my strength, Dimples. I am.”

What Nova wore. in THE MAP OF NOVA AND DEV by Mindy Michele

When we write together, we tend to pick out outfits for our heroines, so we can show each other what we had in mind. So, this is What Did Nova Wear? While you're reading you can come back and reference what we had in mind for our girl.
