“Are you going to go in or are you waiting for someone?” A deep male voice interrupted Hope’s thoughts.

Startled, she jumped and looked over to her left. There a tall man stood, smiling down at her. His dark blond fringe fell into his deep blue eyes and he used a hand to push it out of the way.

“Um…I…” Hope said tongue-tied. Here was most probably one of the cutest guys she had ever laid eyes on and she had no doubt that he knew that he was very good-looking. His knowing smirk confirmed that for her. But then his eyes went down her body and saw her crutches. The smirk dimmed and he moved forward slightly.

“Are you okay? Do you need some help?” He asked. “Have you come for a lesson?” He glanced down at his wrist watch, “It doesn’t start for another hour at the latest, but you are welcome to head in and wait in the lounge. By the way, my name is Dylan Edwards. I’m one of the instructors here.”

“Um…Hi. I’m Hope Lehrer. I’m not here for a lesson, I’m here to begin my training.”

“Oh…so you’re the Hope Bev was talking about!” Dylan exclaimed, “Bev told us that you would be starting in the next few days. Welcome! Let me show you to the staff room.”

He opened the door and led her through them, past the main reception area through the ‘Staff ONLY’ door which she had always had thought was the portal to wondrous things when she was younger and a student here at Asa. The reality wasn’t disappointing in comparison. The door actually led to a hallway with doors on either side. Dylan led Hope to the door on the left that was closest to them. He stopped in front of the door and didn’t try to enter.

“This is the women’s changing room. Ours is on the other side.” He pointed behind them. Hope nodded as she could see the little figure with a dress on the door.

“Jan and Beth should be there now so they can help you with anything you need. But if you do need something, don’t hesitate to ask me.” Dylan said as he gestured towards the door. Just then an African-American man poked his head out of the men’s changing room.

“Oh there you are, Dylan! I thought I heard your voice! Take it slower, why don’t ya? We aren’t having a meeting here or nothin’.” Then he noticed Hope standing next to Dylan. “Oh helloooo, I didn’t notice you standing there. Now I understand why Dylan was delayed. He had good reason. My name is Jason, but you can call me Jay.”
