Jacqueline stood slowly and carefully before moving to the door. Glancing back to be sure he was still there before pushing the door open and going back towards the stage. It's not till the door closes that she drops to her knees shaking and hugging her arms about herself. The ordeal finally sinking in for her now that the danger was past.
She doesn't have time to hide though, one of the ballet girls gasps and stops in her tracks at the sight of Jacqueline on her knees, her face bruised and scraped up. Trying to help her back up and asking repeatedly what had happened.
Jacqueline says nothing, unable to reply. Not even as the girl helps her backstage to a chair, seeming to understand something terrible had befallen her, so much so that she couldn't speak of it right now.
