Epilogue

After many struggles and difficult times, Grace worked hard to get through her problem. She and Brian broke up once more but after a week, they realized how dumb they were both being. Together they worked hard to help Grace.

The boys went on a 5-month tour and Brian took Grace along with him. The boys became number one all over the world and during that time, doctors considered Grace well again.

Grace stood in dance class. No not ballet but an easier class. She decided that she needed a break from ballet. She waited a moment and the music began.

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of you life, ooooh see that girl, watch that scene, thinking the dancing queen. Friday night and the lights are low, looking out for a place to go, where they play the right music, getting in the swing, you can look for a king, anybody can be that guy, the night is young and the music�s high...

Grace danced with ease. Her movements were graceful. She realized that she needed ballet. This was not how she was going to spend her life. After class she vowed never to come back to these classes again.

A year went by and Grace returned to the NYCB. For over a year she was once again considered the best dancer in the school. After performing many great performances, Grace retired from ballet and moved with Brian.

Two months later she got a letter from Julia saying that she and Jacques had also retired and were moving back to France.

A week later, Brian asked Grace to marry him. She said yes.

Today Grace and Brian are still happily married, the guys are doing as great as ever and their 3-year-old daughter, Charity, is starting her first ballet lessons.
