Sadie had also applied for the advanced program.
She hadn’t been accepted.
Colin looked away.
Graham’s face changed.
“You did this because Tessa got in and Sadie didn’t?”
“It wasn’t like that.”
“Then what was it like?”
Colin rubbed both hands over his face.
“I watched Sadie cry for days after that rejection. She worked hard too. Then every time I picked Tessa up, all she talked about was the studio, the teachers, the performance. I kept thinking about my own daughter sitting at home feeling like she wasn’t good enough.”
Rebecca looked horrified.
“So you decided Tessa shouldn’t have it either?”
“I didn’t decide anything.”
“You lied until she stopped dancing,” Graham said.
Colin looked at him.
“I thought you would understand.”
