(Dec 23; Murdoch's)

,

It was 5:30 as William and Julia just finished dinner and waiting for her next gift. As she put the dishes in the dishwasher cupboard, William was coming back from taking Lady for a walk, as she saw him hide a yellow rose and giftbox, by their wedding photo.

"William, I see where you hid the clue" she said as he came out of the kitchen grabbing the rest of the dirty dishes.

"Oh…well then open it" he said while wiping off Lady's feet and gave her a treat

She opens the box, and reads the clue, "to quote you, I would very much like to be held tonight."

Julia remembered that, killing Jack the Ripper, in self-defense, and that night she and William were taking dance lessons. When she arrived that night for the lesson, he took the lead and she knew right then she found her true love and she would always be safe in his arms.

"William, are we going dancing…" before she got to finish, he had a box at her place at the table.

She approached the table, opened the box and sees the blue dress she wore when they danced that night.

"William…I thought I lost this dress."

"I found it, a month ago in storage and took it to the seamstress to update it a bit. To answer your question, yes were going dancing tonight. George will look after Lady for the night."

"William…" she said as she kissed him

"Wear, your locket as well"

"I plan too" she said against his lips and gave him another kiss, and went to get ready.

An hour later, they arrived at the same place they had the dance lessons and were still being taught by the same teachers.

As the music started, William looked at Julia and it was like looking at the past, her hair, makeup, dress was just perfect, as he handed his hand out to her, and she took it and they began dancing.

As they were dancing, she let him take the lead as she put her head against his head, "last time we did this, I knew I found the love of my life and would be safe in your arms" she whispered

"I felt it too, Julia" he whispered back and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

They continued dancing, not even realizing the music had stopped and the other couples were clapping for them.

They laughed and said, "thank you," when the one dance instructor came up to them and recognized them and knew they were meant for each other. They thanked the dance instructor again, and left to go home.

When they arrived home Julia couldn't help but laughing seeing George passed out with a scotch in his hand and Lady on his lap.

"Hey, how's my girl?" Julia asked as Lady jumped down and approached her

They decided to let George stay over and sleep as William put a blanket over him. As they were all getting ready for bed.

When they were all ready for bed, in their pjs, Julia turned to William, "one more dance with our little girl?"

William smiled and picked up Lady, and handed his hand out to Julia as they danced all around their bedroom. As they were dancing, Julia looked up at William and gave him a kiss and Lady licked his face, as Julia let out a laugh, as William said, "shhh, George"

"Right" she said and they continued dancing for a few more minutes before heading to bed.
