Allie tells Kenna everything about Hudson and June. Kenna informs her that she is there on personal time and plans to stay for a few days to evaluate Allie and give her advice on rehabilitation. After watching Allie work through a few moves, Kenna says she is making great progress. However, she asks Allie if she is still truly interested in ballet. Allie talks about how Sophie and Lina still motivate her, but Kenna insists that she needs to do this for herself.

Anne tells Allie and Kenna that the gala she has been planning with the Company is two weeks away. She RSVP’d for both Hudson and Allie to go to it in New York. Allie initially resists, but Anne insists that it will help prove to Caroline that they are serious.

Chapter 17 Summary: “Hudson”

He is also thinking about the Coast Guard tests he took. If he passes, he will get a new location for work.
