Chapter 11: Curtain Call
Conrad turned around to see what everyone was staring at.
A bare rehearsal studio filled the screen, thirty feet high.
Mirrors. A barre. A wooden floor.
A girl lay on her back in the middle of it in a leotard and tights.
Me.
Simone's face swung into the frame, huge and grinning.
"Say hi, Lizzie," she sang.
The phone panned down.
Beside me, Elias's hand closed hard around mine.
The sound came out of the theater's speakers at full volume.
Two thousand people heard my ankle break.
Somebody in the orchestra seats screamed.
A man in the third row stood up and knocked his wife's program to the floor.
On the screen, Simone laughed.
"Again," she said. "She moved."
The hammer came down a second time.
Conrad grabbed the microphone stand.
"Turn it off! Somebody turn that off!"
Nobody turned it off.
The studio disappeared.
Rain on a windshield took its place.
