At eight, everyone took their seats while dinner was served. It was a delicious five-course meal, and by the end, Cali was stuffed. As the waiter came to take the final plates away, Jackson Gerber, the CEO of Chicago Memorial, rose from his seat to say a few words. What she wasn’t expecting was a specific mention of Stanton Enterprises.

With his brief remarks complete, a band took their seats in the far corner of the room and began to play. Some couples got up to dance, including two from their table. Cali looked longingly at the dance floor. She loved to dance, but it had been so long. In fact, it had been right here at the gala three years ago.

Cali looked up and found Matthew in front of her with his hand outstretched.

“Would you like to dance?”

She paused for a minute, not sure if she should. If they should. Unfortunately, her body wasn’t having the same doubts as her mind was. She placed her hand in his.

They glided to the dance floor filled with swaying couples. Cali’s stomach was full of nervous butterflies.

Matthew’s right hand pressed into her lower back, pulling her close as his left held her hand in his. The band was playing a smooth waltz, and he easily led them both around the dance floor in step with the music.

After a minute, Cali found her words. “I didn’t know you could dance.”

He smiled. “I’m sure there are a lot of things you don’t know about me.”

Cali smiled. “Is that so?”

He smiled wider. “I have many, many secrets. I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.” He winked. She laughed out loud. Cali had no doubt he told the truth, but Matthew didn’t often let down his guard like this, and she loved it.

They continued to dance to several more songs before her muscles began to protest, and he led her back toward their table. They didn’t make it that far. Five times, various people wanting to talk to Cali intercepted them.
