the morning, the couples were escorted across the street to the luxurious hotel that would be their home away from home for the remainder of their time on the show. To Cara it looked like heaven.
“Girls with me. Guys with him!” one of the production assistants yelled, motioning to one elevator. A collective groan went up as some of the couples realized they would be forced to split apart, including Cara. She had hoped that this could be a time for her and Daniel to reconnect, to spend some time together working on their relationship, but apparently that was not the case.
“I’ll see you later, okay?” Daniel breathed in her ear, pressing a kiss on her cheek. “Remember the rules and don’t get yourself kicked out in the meantime, okay?”
“Ha-ha, same to you,” Cara smiled, giving him a quick squeeze. He winked and she was forced to climb into the elevator without him. This was going to be a long, long four weeks if they made it to the finale.

“So, how long have you been with your partner?”
Cara looked up from her dinner salad to see a blond girl plop in the seat next to her, a winning smile on her face. “Um, three months?”
“He’s such a hottie,” she said, looking across the room where Daniel was standing with a group of guys. “Are you like an item?”
“I, yes,” Cara said as the jealousy flared in the pit of her stomach. She could see the want on the woman’s face as she ogled Daniel shamelessly to the point where Cara wanted to push her out of the chair to keep her from staring. Ugh, jealousy was horrible. “We are.”
“Too bad,” the other woman sighed, reaching out her hand. “Hi, I’m Julie. I think we are roomies.” Cara remembered the girl now. When she had dropped off her stuff by the room, there had been a girl seated on the bed, rapidly discussing something on her phone. Cara had given the girl her privacy and retreated to the shower, but by the time she had emerged from the bathroom, the girl was gone.
“Cara,” she answered, shaking her hand lightly. “What about your partner?”
“Oh we are cousins,” she laughed. “How fortunate you have your boyfriend as your dance partner.”
Cara nodded as she looked at Daniel, wishing that she could completely say she was ecstatic to have Daniel as her partner. She was grateful of course, that he was willing to put his life on hold to help her out, but their relationship was suffering a bit as a result of their all-day practicing. She couldn’t remember the last time he had actually touched her that didn’t have to do with the competition or with dancing. Where were they going in their relationship?

“I believe your routine is strong, but Cara, you really need to work on your footwork. Daniel can’t carry you throughout the entire routine.”
Cara blew out a breath as she looked at Mike, their mentor judge who had come by every day to check on their progress. Cara and Daniel were in their assigned studio, working on their new routine, and she feared that she wouldn’t be able to learn to dance the routine perfectly in time. More specifically her dancing was what she had feared, just plain bad. She was the weakest link. “Yeah okay. I will work on it.”
Mike shook both Cara’s and Daniel’s hand and left the studio room, the camera crews with him. “Well, that just means we have to push you more,” Daniel remarked, his hands on his hips. “I think timing is your problem.”
“I think the idea of me having to do hip-hop when clearly I am a ballet dancer is the problem,” Cara forced out, leaning against the wall wearily. “Face it. They are going to eat us alive, Daniel. They know this isn’t my strong suit.”
“Then you have to show them otherwise,” Daniel said, throwing up his hands in the air. “I mean, come on, Cara. Get off the pity party and bust your ass like I have seen you do. Show them they are
