Chapter 1: dance

Chapter Text

"Do you dance, Higgsbury?"

Wilson raises a brow. The voice on the radio has never made small talk. It's odd, but not necessarily unwelcome.

"I learned. My mother forced me to for her parties. I know more than I care to now, to be completely honest." He tilts his head. "Why? Is it about the portal?"

"No, not particularly." A pause. "My friends are listening to ragtime right now and I was wondering..."

"How to dance to it?" Wilson conjectures, smiling. "Then perhaps I can teach you. I wouldn't mind, since you're helping me and all."

A deep chuckle. "Perhaps."
