Monique hadn't planned on finding the door that afternoon. It was tucked between a boarded-up bakery and an old tailor's shop on a street she had walked a hundred times, a thin sliver of ironwork gate she had never noticed before.

She paused, her hand still on the brass handle, and took a deep breath of the evening air. It smelled of rain-slicked asphalt and the distant, salty promise of the ocean, but mostly, it smelled like freedom.

At the way she had learned to smile through torn ligaments and broken hearts, because ballerinas are taught that pain is just another form of beauty. The bell above it chimed a sound like
