There’s always something about these competitions, the unknown partner, the surprise music, the speedy acquaintance. I’ve been doing it for years and the anticipation always fizzes through me like electric current ramped just a little too high. I’m in my Vans, I needed something grounding and when I see my partner stepping elegantly towards me on his delicate stilettos I am even more grateful for the choice. My breath catches as I observe his lithe form, the hand he offers me.
The music, his dark curls and deep brown eyes are all that’s left. No judges, no spotlight.
Just us.
