“As they continued to dance, Claire saw the stern lines drop away from her mother's face, and her furrowed brow relaxed, replaced with a faraway look in her eyes. She looked serene and almost peaceful, as Leon guided her into another promenade, and she lifted her leg up into a developè. Claire felt a tinge of envy, wishing she could have what her parents had. At first glance, you wouldn’t think that the gentle Frenchman and the irritable Russian would have had much compatibility, but somehow, they had managed to take their partnership and turn it into twenty years of marriage.” — Ruby Fink
