Chapter 21 - SCARLETT AUDITIONS UNDER HER OWN NAME
Scarlett stayed with dance.
At eighteen, she auditioned for a conservatory outside New York.
No Ferraro donation.
No family call.
No legacy letter.
She used:
Scarlett Hale.
Her father’s surname professionally.
Marcella struggled with that.
Then accepted.
Scarlett was admitted.
Not because of blood.
Not because of Prima Figlia.
Because she was good.
At her first major performance, Marcella sat in the audience.
No backstage pass.
No control.
Afterward Scarlett came out.
Marcella said:
“You were beautiful.”
Scarlett answered:
“Thank you.”

Nothing about family restoration.
That was their progress.
