Summary: It takes two to dance.
Notes: I can't explain it, really. It's abstract. Enjoy.



Glide, shoes slide across polished marble. Hems float, notes hang in the air.

It takes two to dance.

Palm to palm, moving with the rhythm of the violins. The touch isn't enough.

One-two-three, one-two-three.

World churning, spinning, sweeping.

She has had too much champagne.

Dizzy.

Misstep, flub, fall. He catches her. The dress is expensive; she couldn't bear to ruin it.

It takes two to dance.

He sets her back on her feet. Cheeks flush.

It takes one to break the rhythm.
