Dancing with Phoebe in my arms, I could only think about getting the Prom over and
having the beautiful young woman in my arms now in my arms the entire evening.

That's when I heard her gasp.

Opening my eyes, I looked down at her. She was staring over my should, her face lost in a
type of frightened amazement. Looking over my shoulder, I spotted where she was staring

Arnold was on the dance floor, Helga with him.

The feeling I had moments before, was a reality for them. And painfully obvious to
anyone watching them. They were dancing, eyes on each other, totally unaware of the other eyes on them.

I spun Phoebe around so she could get a better look, when I saw that look in Arnold's eyes
again.

He was looking at Helga with such intensity that even I felt it across the dance floor.
Helga, returned his gaze unwavering, with the same intensity. Complete trust, utter
abandonment, lust, passion, submission, commitment, love.

I had never seen that look in anyone's eyes before. My parents shared moments that I've
walked in on, even Jamie-O and his new bride shared gazes, but nothing like this. With a
look, they had answered the question that had been on everyone's mind for a year and a
half totally and completely.

The music ended, also ending the spell cast on everyone in the room. A faster song came
on and the two separated, almost like waking from a dream. I couldn't help myself. I
watched them awe as they walked towards us.
They truly had no idea what they done or how it had effected everyone else.
