There are moments in our lives that can change the course we’re on. I believe when faced with those moments, we should take the unknown path. The risk. The excitement, the opportunity, the love . . . The night I stumbled into a burlesque club in downtown Los Angeles, I took one of those paths and changed my life. I found a home I’d never had with my own parents. I found a confidence I’d never known as a prima ballerina. I found my passion. And it inadvertently led me back to the one moment I’d let slip away—to him. To a love so pure and whole and carnal, I thought it could withstand anything. But I’m not the only one with secrets. And now, all those chosen paths are crumbling around me.
