"May I have this dance?" Tom asked as he extended a hand out to Rachel. She smiled and nodded as she took his hand.
She followed him to the dancefloor and Tom twirled her into his arms in a smooth motion. Rachel felt his hand rest on her back as their hands intertwined and she rested her left hand on his arm.
Rachel couldn't remember the last time she waltzed. But it felt amazing, she felt like a Princess in a fairy tale movie as Tom glided them across the dancefloor with a grace and elegance she never thought he could possess.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked.
"You're a very good dancer." Rachel said.
"It's part of basic training." Tom deadpanned, Rachel chuckled.
They lapsed into a companionable silence as they enjoyed going through the motions of the dance and let the music take them. Rachel loved the feel of his body close to hers and moving in such synchronicity that she never wanted the dance or this night to end.
