Chapter 82
Saturday October 6th was the night of the homecoming dance. Dawn had a good time with Steven on this night. Steven had saved her life, now they were dancing together. They not only danced to Taylor Swift's "love story" Lorne had somehow gotten her to perform live at the dance. Dawn even heard Taylor asking Lorne's advice on a potential movie role. They were offering her a movie with Kelly Clarkson, essentially a musical version of "Thelma and Louise." Lorne told her the movie would make a lot of money, whether it was good was another story. Dawn was having a migical night, then Steven told her something.
Steven: There's something I should tell you.
Dawn: What's that?
Steven: I'm adopted. Before my birth parents put me up for adoption they naed me "Conner." I sometimes call myself Conner. It can be confusing.
Dawn: That's your big secret?
Steven: Yeah. I know it doesn't sound big, I just didn't want you to think I was hiding anything.
Dawn was moved by this. Steven was honest, noble, he seemed like the perfect guy. As they danced later Dawn and Steven kissed. It was the first kiss for both of them. Dawn knew she couldn't have asked for a better choice.
