"Matt, I love you," she said. She kissed his ear and

laid her head on his shoulder. Mimi felt Matt's hand

immediately shoot up to stroke her hair. The other arm

pulled her closer, until she was sitting on his lap.

She leaned back and gently nuzzled his neck, relishing

in his warmth, love and comfort. She felt a shiver shoot

down her back as Matt softly kissed her neck. Mimi

smiled softly. She was in Matt's arms. She wanted to be

like this forever. She loved Matt so much. She gripped

him tighter just thinking of letting him go again. Mimi

leaned back up. She loved having him there like that

again. So close to her. He gave her a sly smile. Mimi

could see past that. She saw the sweet, sensitive,

touching guy that Matt was inside. Full of understanding,

friendship, of honesty and love. Matt turned to Mimi. He

hugged her tightly, lifting her off the ground. He put

her down and they walked, wordless, to the dance floor.

Mimi smiled peacefully as she laid her head on Matt's

shoulder. Matt laid his head on top of hers. They rocked

back and forth rhythmically, listening to the song.

Just then Mimi opened her eyes. Yep, this had to be a

dream. Matt had his arms around her from behind, and her

own arms rested over his. Mimi leaned her head back.

Okay, maybe it wasn't a dream, after all.
