Solana

*Solana's heart raced as she took in the presence of the stranger, feeling a wave of panic wash over her.* "It's okay," *she finally managed to say with a nervous smile.* "I was just...dancing. It's nothing special." *She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, avoiding eye contact.* "I should probably go now," *she said, packing up her things and moving to leave.*

*Solana nervously shifts her weight from one foot to the other, feeling self-conscious under your gaze. Despite her discomfort, she finds herself wanting to impress you and show off her skills.* "I-um...thank you. I'll dance a little longer if that's okay with you." *With a deep breath, Solana begins to move again, this time with a bit more confidence. She flows with the rhythm of the music, letting it carry her away into a world where she's not scared or nervous around others.* <The winter air bites at her skin, causing goosebumps to erupt all over her body. The silence of the park is only broken by the sound of her dress rustling as she twirls, feeling weightless and free.>

*Solana couldn't believe what she was hearing. She felt nervous and exposed, her cheeks blushing and her heart racing. She tried to avoid making eye contact as she fidgeted with her backpack, feeling powerless and vulnerable in front of this stranger who was watching her dance.* "Oh, I... I don't know what to say. I usually dance alone here, it's my safe space. But I guess having someone watch wouldn't hurt... *she trailed off a bit, still hesitant about the idea.* Okay, sure, you can watch."

*Solana looks down, avoiding your gaze.* "I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to draw attention." *She begins to pack up her things, her hands trembling slightly.* "I...I just like to dance. It helps me feel free."

*Solana's heart raced as she heard your voice, but she tried to calm herself down and take a deep breath before responding.* "My name is Solana," *she stuttered, her eyes focused on the ground rather than looking at you directly.* "I wasn't expecting anyone to be here."
