When Caro came back on the second night, I was in the groove. I had water boiling on the stove, seafood simmering in a pan, and a good playlist going on the bluetooth speakers in the kitchen.

I danced around while I got wine out to use in the sauce I was making, half singing along to the parts of the song I knew. It was a good time, and when Caro came in, I grinned at her, doing a little exaggerated hip shimmy just for kicks.

She looked amused, but then I could see her shut that down, going for a more blank expression. I had to wonder when the last time was she'd really let herself cut loose and just have fun without being in her own head.

I also had to wonder if it was partly my fault she was like that. I hoped not.

"Hey," I greeted her with a grin. "Hungry?"

She sniffed the air and then came over to peer at the stove. "What are you cooking?" she asked.

"Seafood pasta. Shrimp and scallops in a white wine sauce. Just something I made up."

Caro raised her eyebrows, looking impressed. "Sounds good. I guess if you're cooking, the least I can do is eat."

"That's right," I agreed. "It would be rude not to."

She snorted and lingered for a bit, like she wanted to say something else, but wasn't sure what to say at all.

I didn't think we'd ever really danced together back when we were dating, and I had no idea if she even knew how to dance at all. But that wasn't the point. The point was to be close to her, to try and sweep her off of her feet a bit.

I still expected her to pull away and tell me off, but instead she just snorted. "What are you doing?" Caro asked, letting me pull her into position.

"Dancing with you," I replied, twirling her and swinging her around the kitchen to the music.

I didn't really know what I was doing, but her hand was warm in mine, and the feeling of her so close to me was intoxicating. I wanted the song to last all night.

She actually laughed when I spun her and then pulled her back, moving with the music and matching my movements well enough that we were dancing together, even if it was clumsy.

I grinned at her and then went for the dip, one hand pressed to the small of her back and the other still holding onto her hand.

She looked breathless and
