Chapter Seven

They stepped inside the bar a little before eight to find it already busy. Most of the tables were taken, but Sam managed to locate one in the back where someone had stolen a chair, leaving only three chairs to it. Not long after they’d seated themselves a waitress came by to get their drink order. The guys both got drafts and Kitty got a Corona.

The juke box was playing loud enough that they had to bend close to hear each other as they talked.

“The band plays a little country and a little classic rock,” Hudson said. “You’ll like them if you like both.”

“I do,” she said.

“Do you like to dance?” Hudson asked.

“I’m not very good,” she said

“Neither am I,” Sam admitted.

“Anyone can stand and sway,” Hudson said with a chuckle.

Kitty nodded. That was true. She’d done just that many times and enjoyed it. She could see Sam being that kind of dancer. He was huge and would be self-conscious on the dance floor, where Hudson would probably feel more confident.

The guys talked to her about their ranch while they waited on the band to set up and start playing. Finally, around nine fifteen they began, and Kitty had to admit they were well worth the wait. She was clapping with the rest of the crowd at the end of each song.

When a slow song started up, Hudson asked her to dance. She nodded and let him lead her onto the dance floor. It was crowded, leaving only enough room for them to sway to the music. He wrapped his arms around her just above her butt and she had hers on his shoulders. He smiled down at her, bending to whisper the words to the song in her ear. It was intimate and sent chills down her spine.

By the time the song was over she was a gooey mess and had trouble walking back to the table. Sam stood when they approached and smiled as she sat down again.

“Have fun?” he asked, just loud enough she could hear him.

“Yes. It was great,” she said.

“Next one’s yours,” Hudson said.

Sam looked stricken for a moment, then he nodded, a determined expression pouring over his face. She realized he was conquering a fear just for her. It humbled her.

They listened to the music for several more songs before they played the next slow song. Sam rose and held out his hand. She stood and followed him to the dance floor, unsure how they would actually fit considering their size differences. He was a good six and a half feet tall to her five foot four inches.

He wrapped his arms around her, and she did the same and they swayed. Her head came to his chest so that she could hear his heartbeat. It was racing as if he were trying to catch a rabbit instead of shifting his feet from side to side on the dance floor. No doubt hers was beating just as fast. She could feel it in her chest as she held on to him.
