"I'm sorry," Lotte said. Even if others told her not to - she said it too much or it was unnecesary it was the only thing that came to mind. She'd never thought James would look at her like that, be so harsh...when all Lotte was trying to do was help.
"Because no one should do that or have to." Yes, it was James' decision. Lotte knew that - it was what made it so much worse. "It's not respectful - James, I've seen you dance and you're wonderful - no matter what you do. But it's not right and it's not safe and you've broken your mother's heart..." She sniffled. "And mine too, I don't want you getting hurt like this."
