"Yes, they are!"
The girls answered almost at the same time.
Bright laughter spread through the gathering as several of them enthusiastically raised their hands into the air, responding to Sasha's question without the slightest hesitation.
"That's the spirit, girls."
Sasha beamed with satisfaction.
She nodded several times as though she were an instructor pleased with her students' enthusiasm.
Spreading both hands dramatically before the crowd, she announced,
"So... I'll be holding an interview for everyone interested in dancing with my dear brother, Ravenor."
A wave of excitement immediately swept through the girls.
Sasha continued before anyone could interrupt.
"I'll personally select the ten best candidates."
She held up all ten fingers while smiling innocently.
"As for everyone who doesn't make it into the top ten..."
Her smile widened.
"You'll dance with the rest of the Burnwick family."
She lightly pointed behind herself.
