Lucas and Ros stood on one side of the dance floor. Lucas threw his hands up in the air and shouted, to be heard above the music, “If you can’t dance then I don’t know what you’re doing here!”
Ros sparked back, “It wasn’t my suggestion to come in the first place.”
Lucas spun on his heel and approached a woman sitting at one of the tables close by. “I don’t suppose you’d like to dance,” he said. “My partner doesn’t feel like it.”
She glanced over at the man she was with, who shrugged and said, “Go ahead! You know I don’t dance.”
Lucas escorted her into the middle of the dance floor, where they soon disappeared amongst the other dancers.
Ros looked at the man, and said, rather tearfully, “Do you mind if I sit down for a few minutes. There aren’t any other chairs available.”
“Be my guest!”
When, a few songs later, Ros saw the woman coming back across the dance floor. She stood, leant forward to thank the man and departed.
Once outside the building, she found Lucas waiting for her. “I got my bug planted,” she said.
“So did I,” Lucas replied. “She wasn’t even a very good dancer. You’re much better!”
