She heard the music first ...
... and hauled him to his feet unceremoniously.
"This is our song," she said firmly by way of explanation. His confusion cleared as the strains of the love song rose above the sounds of the crowd.
He took her in his arms, suddenly having a flash of memory to that time five years earlier when he'd danced with her on Colonial Day. She was wearing the same dress tonight.
Their bodies fit together as though they'd been made as one - a whole split into two pieces, destined to find one another and become the unified spirit they were always meant to be. It had taken a long time and a lot of heartache for them to fully realize their destiny but after realizing that being apart was something that caused them more pain than being together, they'd given in and let it consume them.
"Who knew we'd end up having an 'our song'?" Lee murmured into her hair, long enough now to hang to her shoulders.
"I guess the Gods did," she whispered back, nuzzling his neck as he pulled her closer. "They certainly kept giving us chances even after we kept frakking them up."
"Mmm," was all Lee could find to say in response. His senses were in circuitry overload. Having her in his arms always did that to him - it was one of the reasons he loved her so much. She made him forget everything else.
The music played and they danced, oblivious to the fact that the party was almost over and they were the only couple on the dance floor.
