She bowed, braids falling over her shoulders, in her deep, red dress she paid a fortune for, but it felt all so worth it with the lights shining on her. This moment was almost enough to drown away the crushing anxieties about the debt she needed pay off. The audience wasn’t as large as she was hoping. She fled to her dressing room. On her way, she noticed a door, tucked away in the shadows. When had that been there? “Great show out there,” one of the production crew patted her shoulder. She gave him a brief smile, and when she turned back to the door, there was an alluring black butch woman in a fine turn coat suit. The woman disappeared behind the door with an expectant eye. Gabriella couldn’t help but to oblige. When she stepped through the door, her heels poked against a marble floor.
