“Dance for me.”
 
 She quirks a brow and steps back. “Dance for you?” she asks, her fingertip pressed against my chest. One eyebrow lifts, and I wonder if I’ll ever push her too hard.
 
 “Without the dress,” I instruct.
 
 But today is not that day.
 
 She sashays inside, and I watch her slip one strap off her shoulder, and then the second, before shimmying out of the dress just as I lose sight of her.
 
 She doesn’t know.
 
 One day I’ll dare her to marry me.
