A Dance to remember -- A FAGE 12 gift for Ninkita

by DeJean Smith

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes…As the song from Rent goes, there is a finite number of minutes to a year, but how many of those minutes are memorable? How many slip by carelessly, with no thought to their importance? And how many hold events that will change our lives forever? A FAGE 12 offering for Ninkita.

5. Chapter 5

Chapter 5:

"Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Edward and Bella, our newlyweds!"

The sounds of Ella James' At Last began just as the DJ finished his introduction, and two lovers swirled around the dancefloor as their friends and family gathered to toast their wedding day.

"I'm still surprised you didn't want to do this to something a little more symphonic, my wife," Edward murmured, smiling at his beaming bride.

"Oh, I didn't think I could top that first dance memory, my husband."

"True. It was a dance to remember."

Again, a huge thank you to the FAGE organizers. I have really enjoyed this opportunity to get back into writing. Thank you Ninkita for the wonderful prompts. I hope you loved this story.

Another big thank you to DD2 and Beppa for the banner and pre-reading.
