Distance Dating
Felix went from London to Hong Kong for a summer vocal recital. His mom took him to London when he was thirteen after his dad passed away. A friend connected him with Shirley to be his accompanist. He had one week to practice. They practiced every day at her house and had lunch afterward.
Felix was excited about the success of the performance and signed up to return the next year. The two corresponded after Felix returned to London. The engagement took place in spring the following year and the wedding bell rang in summer instead of singing performance.

I know, Liz. I just watched the Swan Lake ballet with the ending of the death of the white swan. I was sad all over again. So I watched another video with a collection of 15 endings to the Swan Lake ballet. I know a couple of them have happy endings!! ❤

There are versions of Swan Lake in which the white swan doesn’t die?

It’s a video with alternative endings of Swan Lake, not the entire ballet. I’ll land it to you in a few minutes.

Thanks, Miriam! (I don’t have time to watch the entire ballet, so just the alternative ending will be good.)
