He warned me
I don’t dance.
I laughed and said
I’ll teach you.
He shook his head
Others have tried.
I promised
You’ll have extra incentive.
He grinned
Try it.
I put my arms around him and his around me and he stumbled and
laughing I helped him and he pulled me off balance and kissed me and
we fell to the ground
And we danced!
So tell me
Who won?
