The bride and groom glide across the floor.
Robbie smiles, watching Julie and Gurdip dance. "Me gran always said the first dance showed how a couple would get on in bed."
"Did you believe that?"
"Nah, or I'd have been certain my marriage was doomed. Val gave me lessons, but I was hopeless." He smiles ruefully at James. "I shouldn't natter on about the past."
James gives him a gentle kiss that carries a promise for later. "I like hearing about Val," he says. "She may not have taught your feet to dance, but she taught your heart to love."
