Christie Golden Quote

Then he called out, Dahna! Our newest member wants to know why you want to dance, since you were forced to as a slave. Iden expected everything to come to an awkward, if not downright hostile, halt. Instead, the teal-skinned woman threw back her head and laughed. Because I can, child, she said. Not because I have to. Because I want to. Because I can dance, or sing, or not do any of those things if I don’t feel like it. I dance because I’m happy, here, with my family. I dance because I am free.
