“At least tell me you’re leaving the ballet slippers at home,” Eva
says on the other end of the line.
I adjust the phone to my other ear and frown down at my suitcase, which
definitely has a pair of pointe shoes tucked neatly between a spare leotard
and some tights.
“I can’t go that long without practicing, Eva.”
She laughs exasperatedly. “It’s just a long weekend! Four days, Ruby!
Don’t you deserve a rest?”
Eva doesn’t get it. No matter how many times I’ve explained it to her in
the past, she insists that I’m too obsessed with ballet. Aren’t most people
obsessed with their careers, though? Isn’t that the entire point?
What she doesn’t understand is that ballet isn’t natural. Our bodies aren’t
technically supposed to do that, which means that dancers have to make
sure they’re keeping all their muscles in perfect shape at all times. I can’t
take four entire days off. Not even for Eva’s wedding.
“I promise I won’t wear my pointe shoes with the bridesmaid dress, if that
helps.”
Technically, I’m not just a bridesmaid, but the maid of honor. When Eva
asked me to accept the title a year ago, I was hesitant. As a professional
ballet dancer, I knew I didn’t have enough time in my insane schedule to
devote to my friend’s wedding. Luckily, though, Eva insisted that it was a
title in name only. Much like me, she’s a bit of a control freak, and has dealt

to the other bridesmaids.
“I’ll take it. Hey, by the way, can I thank you for the thousandth time for
suggesting your adorable little hometown as a wedding location? I mean,
this place is just so cute. Obviously, we scouted it, like, three times before
making the decision, but I just want you to know this place is so
endearing.”
I smile to myself. I’m used to Eva’s flowery, enthusiastic way of talking
by now.
Eva and her fiancé arrived in Mermaid Shores a few days ago. In about
two hours, I’ll be hopping on the train to meet them and the rest of the
wedding party there. My hometown is something of a fairytale and is most
commonly referred to as a hidden gem among the overrated beach towns in
the region. Tucked away in a tiny inlet of Cape Cod, the town hosts some of
the most high-profile and high-net-worth individuals every tourist season. It
also boasts the prettiest views off the coast of New England, in my humble
opinion.
Eva, who was a struggling model when we met thanks to a Craigslist
roommate ad four years ago, is now a veritable supermodel with seven
figures in her bank account. When she told me that Sebastien, her sexy
