Edward’s defenses began to crumble, revealing the vulnerability beneath his stoic exterior. For years, he had relied on the best medical experts money could buy, yet none had managed to reach Noah. Now, here was Rosa, with no formal training, achieving the impossible with a simple dance.
He mulled over Rosa’s words, “No one else touches him with joy.” They echoed in his mind, igniting a realization that perhaps he had been too focused on conventional solutions while overlooking the simple, human elements of connection and joy.
The following day, Edward observed as Rosa danced with Noah again. This time, he noticed more—the subtle cues of their interactions, the gentle sway of Rosa’s movements guiding Noah’s gaze, and the way Noah’s eyes lit up with a spark of awareness. It was beyond what any therapy session had achieved.
