By the time Miles and I returned to the ballroom, the tables had been cleared and the band was playing.

“May I have this dance, Ms. Reynolds?” Miles asked, holding my hand up to his lips.

“You may,” I happily agreed and he twirled me around then brought me firmly to his chest for a kiss.

We danced for hours. I’d never been into jazz, but that night it seemed to be my favorite. Where I lacked any formal (ok, any) dancing skills, Miles flourished. He was no stranger to the dance floor, leading me from one side to the other. I couldn’t remember a time I laughed so much or had a better time.

“Where did you learn to dance like this?” I asked when the music died down to a slow song.

“Dance lessons.”

“When you were younger?”

“From the moment I could put one foot in front of the other,” he admitted. “It’s important that every man know how to carry a woman on the dance floor,” he continued, standing firmly and sounding like he was reciting a line his parents told him when he was a little boy.

“Well, I do believe you’ve succeeded in that.” I smiled up to him, admiration in my eyes.

“It’s not a challenge when you have a beautiful woman to lead,” he whispered against my lips before gently pecking them, then surprised me by pushing me backwards into a dip.

I giggled as he pulled me back up close to his chest, kissing him again as I did.

“Miles,” Connie interrupted, tapping his shoulder. “I need you up front,” she said, the sternness back in her voice.

Miles looked to me, sincerity in his eyes. “Sorry love, I apologize, but I must join Connie for a moment.”

“No worries.” I waved him off. “Do what you have to do,” I told him, letting him out of my embrace and smiling at Connie, who was still standing there, waiting.

She didn’t even muster a small smile. It appeared the old Connie was back.

Before proceeding to the front where Connie waited, Miles walked me back to our table, where his parents sat chatting with another couple. They smiled as Miles pulled my chair out, allowing me to sit before leaning over and kissing the top of my head softly.

“I’ll be right back,” he whispered before turning to meet Connie beside the stage.

I smiled in his mother’s direction when I overheard her joyfully say to the other woman, “Isn’t it a sight to see?”

She had no clue the extent of that statement. It was quite a sight to see for both of us. The Kayla Reynolds that most people knew wouldn’t be behaving in this dignified manner. She wouldn’t be twinkletoeing around on a dance floor accompanied by a rich executive whom she fell in love with in less than a week. No, most people would call bullshit on that whole scenario, but it was true, and apparently it was out of character for Miles, too. I hadn’t had time yet to find out why, but I’m sure I would.
