Summary
Nesta Archeron has worked her entire life to become a principal ballerina with the New York Ballet, and she does NOT appreciate the large, brutish man behind the camera lens at her promo photoshoot, or the fact that he is casually barging into her dressing room, or the continued mentions of his mysterious "personal project".
Or:
The stage lights are bright and the audience lights are entirely down, so she can’t see his face, but in that moment Nesta swears she can feel the mystery photographer’s mouth quirk up into a slight grin “alright, my bad, Sugar Plum Fairy”
“This is Swan Lake!” Her voice rises in indignation, because really… they couldn’t even get a photographer who knew what the damn ballet was. Nesta Archeron has put 23 years of her life into fighting and bleeding and clawing her way to this pinnacle roll and she can practically feel ice fill her veins at the realization that the billboards around the city and fliers in the mail were going to feature a photo of her shot by some imbecile jock who thought she was doing the Nutcracker! It’s July for gods sake.
