I expected him to dodge before he did, as my movements were practiced from years of precision. The fight that followed was a dance of control, no wasted motion, angles over strength, timing over force.

I forced him back into the narrowing alley, with each strike calculated to unbalance him, not to overexert.

"My father is losing everything. If we don't break them apart tonight, I’m going to be poor by Monday. I can't be poor, Serena." "What can we do?" Serena asked. "He won't even look at me." "The final dance," Maya said, her eyes turning dark. "The tradition is that the host family switches partners for the last song. It’s a unity dance. If we can get you into his arms for just three minutes, and I get the photographers ready..." "To do what?"

"I'm staying for one more dance, you can either stay with me or leave me" We end up staying for one more dance. And Austin certainly knows how to make me spin. He extends his arm, spinning me around expertly before bringing me back. It seems the last song is the longest because the 'last dance' lasts forever. Alice giggles when she sees Austin twizzling me around. The rest of the dancing bodies seem to make a circle around Austin and I and the music seems to get louder and faster. At one point my back ends up pressing against his chest again, our bodies moving in time with the music and each other.

Would interrogate later. Garter toss next. Jake's turn. All single men gathered. Including his brothers. Friends. Teammates. Jake removed garter. Respectfully. Not scandalously. Threw it. His single brother caught it. The youngest one. Awkward. Everyone laughed. He blushed. Classic. Then last dance. Final song. Emma and Jake alone on floor. Everyone else watching. Romantic song. Slow song. Meaningful song. Just us. Just dancing. Just being.

My knees buckled. “No. Please don’t take her. Please, not her…” But no one answered. Because she was gone. The last person who ever truly loved me… My mother. My home. My everything. Was gone.

She looked like she’d just drunk five energy drinks. “She knows she’s all alone on the dance floor, right?” Cameron asked me as we watched Stella dance, barefoot, with abandon. “I really don’t think she cares one way or the other,” I laughed. The band announced that they were playing their last song, and Jordyn, Cameron, myself, and the few guests left joined Stella on the dance floor for the final song.

Chase takes hold of my hand and pulls me into him, resting his other hand on my lower back as we start to sway to the music. We dance with each other like there is nobody else in the room.
