"Go viral with my choreography when I had next to no following," sheadded. Sadie Day-Bishop was a well-known choreographer these days with tons of viral videos, so I knew she'dachieved that one, several times over."Like you said, some of them seemed impossible. But that was only until they were done. Ihad help, of course."

She looked over at her husband, and as if he felt her gaze, he looked up and gave her the most devastating smile.

"So did you ever go?" I asked.

"To Ireland?"When I nodded,Sadie sighed. "Coltonand I went there on our honeymoon."

"That's so romantic," I said.

Sadie turned up the music thenpatted my shoulder. "I like you, Scarlett. Any time you want to come for dinner or take class at the studio, feel free."

"Thank you, Mrs. Bishop," I said.

"And for your list," she said. "Just remember, carpe diem."

She walked away, and Sam took her place.

"Everything okay?" he asked.

"Sure," I said. "I think your mom just gave me her version of the talk."

Sam's brows went up. "I didn't know she had one of those."

"Learn something new every day, Bishop."

Betty seniorsighed loudly from the other room. "Oh, this song! My husband and I used to dance to it all the time. Scarlett, make my day, and dance with my godson."

"Well, I—"

"It would mean so much, considering the little time I have left."

With wide eyes, I nodded and walked over to Sam.

"Will you dance with me?" I said.

"You don't even have to ask, Kent."

He placed one hand against my waist; I rested mine on his shoulder. Our other hands joined, and then we were dancing. The slow sway of our bodies matched the music to a tee.

A few moments later, he chuckled, causing me to lean back.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Betty," he said. "She guilted you into this."

"No, she didn't. I loveto dance."

"Hmmm."

"And if it reminds her of good memories with her husband," I added, "that makes it even better."

"I'm not even sure she had a husband," he said, and I gaped at him. "According to Betty herself, she was quite the flirt."

"But what about having only a little time left?"

He threw me a smile. "My dad tells me that's how she got him to help my momyears ago. She's a master of persuasion."

"I see."
