Because isn't that the point of every relationship: to be known by someone else, to be understood? He gets me. She gets me. Isn't that the simple magic phrase?

     GLORIA DESMOND NEEDS NO WORDS TO MOVE HER AUDIENCE.

     Instead, she uses her body, utilizing one grueling dance lesson after the next, turning pain into beauty as she glides like a swan across the stage of the New York City Ballet. Gloria has risen through the ranks, eventually coming to claim the title of principal dancer and soloist—which is more than her mother ever said she'd amount to. Every day, Gloria dances to prove her mother wrong, to show the world that she's more than just an overachiever with a pretty face.

And still, all Gloria wants—all she's ever wished for—is someone who truly knows her. She's had her fair share of exes who've said they understand the crushing expectations of others, but no one ever really gets it, not when they've never lived a day in Gloria's shoes.

But just when the pressure is so heavy she's sure it'll break her back, someone comes along and lifts it off her shoulders, finally letting Gloria feel like the person she was when her life began. It turns out that nothing is better than the clarity Sebastian brings—because oh, his presence is like the relief of sunlight streaming through the forest canopy after a storm.
