Excerpt from Interlude by Lola Keeley
“Follow this corridor right around. Prima’s dressing room is closest to the stage, just on that side of it.”
Victoria did exactly that, taking her leave with a little wave and racing around the curving corridor at a pace that made her wish she’d skipped the heels and not been so vain as to leave her cane back in her hotel room. Some lessons she’d proven spectacularly slow at learning, but it didn’t matter as the adrenaline of seeing Anna again took over.
Where once she would have barged in to put the fear of God in her newly promoted principal, this time Victoria raised her knuckles to the wooden door and gave the prima her due deference by knocking and waiting. The wait felt like a few small eternities, all crashing into each other as Victoria slowly combusted out there in the hallway. Then finally, finally the universe took pity on her, and the small mercy of the door handle’s being turned was given to Victoria’s impatient soul.
“You came!” Anna’s words were almost lost to the squeal that rose out of her, unbidden. Fresh from the shower, dressed in just a tiny silk kimono, she launched herself at Victoria until she was pressed back against the opposite wall.
The white-painted brickwork scratched at her jacket, but Victoria could barely feel it. She had her arms full of Anna, which meant she could do the one thing she hadn’t been able to in months.
She kissed her.
