Guests around us paired up and drifted onto the dance floor, leaving me stuck in a corner with card No. 56. Wait-didn’t anyone else get my number?
If I’d known dancing would be such a hassle, I probably would’ve made up an excuse to skip.
Alice sighed. “Don’t freak out. Maybe your partner is coming! What if he’s a hottie?”
I rolled my eyes. I didn’t need a hottie. As long as it wasn’t Derrick or one of Michelle’s minions, I’d be grateful.
Right then, a tall figure weaved through the crowd toward me.
He wore a goofy bear mask that covered his whole face, leaving only a sharp jawline visible. But I recognized that voice immediately. “Miss, may I have this dance?”
“Samson? It’s you?!” I blurted out, surprise and a little joy slipping into my tone without me noticing.
My champagne glass wobbled and almost spilled. Of all people, he was holding card No. 56.
He chuckled low, a warm vibration that made the air around us feel cozy. “Guess it’s meant to be.”
He held out his hand. I hesitated, then placed mine in his.
His grip was firm but gentle, and he guided me onto the floor, step by step.
“Samson, heads-up-I can’t dance,” I admitted quickly at the edge of the floor.
“No problem.” His voice was calm and steady behind the mask. “Just follow my lead. I’ve got you.”
The waltz began. He moved first-left hand at my waist, right hand holding mine. “Left foot first, back three, then right foot. With me … one, two, three … one, two, three.”
I held my breath, staring at his feet and trying hard to follow his rhythm.

But my feet had other plans-I stepped on his shoe. “Crap! I stepped on you!” My face heated up, and 1 wished I could disappear.
“It’s fine. Just slow down.” His voice stayed calm, no hint of annoyance, and he eased the pace a little. “Relax. Let the music guide you.”
I took a deep breath and forced my shoulders to loosen.
A few steps later, I hit his foot again. “Sorry, sorry, I did it again … ” I ducked my head, too embarrassed to look up.
“It’s okay. You’re already improving.” His calmness worked like magic, and my nerves finally started to settle.

I stopped staring at his shoes and focused on feeling his lead, letting the music carry me, step by step.
I didn’t happen to notice how long it took, but the stomping finally stopped. I lifted my head, surprised, and caught a glimpse of his smile through the bear mask.
Our steps fell into sync. He spun me, pulled me back, and guided me forward. My dress flared, moonstone light glinting off his mask. Everything around us faded-just the music and the warmth of his hand.
“Nice. You’re doing great.” His praise felt real.
I laughed, a little shy, still moving. “You’re a great teacher.”
If he hadn’t been so patient, I would’ve quit long ago.
