I chuckled nervously. “Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one.”

“Do you remember what we did after prom?”

“Did we go get burgers?”

She giggled. “We sure did get burgers. Then, we took your truck out to sit under the stars and talk about college.”

“We saw the foxes that night.”

“Oh, wow. We did!”

“They were so gorgeous. But they couldn't compare to you. Nothing compares to you.”

“Levon,” she sighed.

“Yeah?”

She wiggled away from me. “You're on my foot.”

“Oh, crap!”

I laughed while hopping back. She held her foot for a second while giggling, shaking her head. “Alright, how much champagne have you had?”

“Only one glass, I'll have you know!”

“Well, it sounds like you might need another. You've never stepped on my feet!”

I shrugged nonchalantly. “Hey, I guess my feet like your feet.”

Wow, what the hell kind of compliment was that?

I flushed red as I cleared my throat, shrugging away my embarrassment. I shifted between standing near Clara and walking toward the champagne table. I wasn't sure what to do. She hook her arm into mine and led me to the table, grabbing us two flutes before tugging me back to the dance floor.

“More dancing?” I asked playfully. “You're going to wear me out, Miss Downing.”

“You used to be so fit back in the day.”

“Oh, that was a hard hit.”

She shrugged and gave me a cute smirk. “What? You can't keep up anymore?”

“Another challenge, eh?”

“I guess I'm full of challenges this week.”

I laughed and accepted the glass of champagne from her. We clinked them together and then each took a sip, wavering in the center of the dance floor. I wanted to take her into my arms again, but holding the champagne at the same time would make that difficult. I downed the rest of my champagne, took her glass, and set both of them aside in favor of taking her hips again.

She chuckled. “Hey, I wasn't done with that.”

“Ah, there will be more later.”

“You seem eager to keep dancing.”

“Is that a bad thing?”

She shrugged and then nestled her head into my chest. “I guess not.”

I held her close. It was the most wonderful sensation I had felt all day. Seeing Jen get married brought me joy, but this was pure bliss.
