their first dance of the day.’
    ‘Okay, could I at least try and not be. Could you give me some time to get to know you?’
    She stopped at the entrance and watched her best friend with the man she loved. It was all over Emily, from the way she looked at him to the way they held each other. Sahara could see the love. Love she knew that she might never experience, but loved to experience it through other people. The floor was soon opened to everyone else.
    ‘Can we dance?’ he asked.
    A little page boy rushed over to Sahara and tugged on her dress.
    ‘Can I have this dance?’ asked the little boy.
    ‘Well, yes of course.’ She giggled and looked over her shoulder at Eugene. ‘I guess you’ll have to wait your turn.’
    ‘Oh, I’ll wait. I ’ll wait for as long as it takes.’
    He watched as she gave her attention to the little boy. He wanted to know everything about her. He wanted to be next to her, and he didn’t even know why.
    Sahara danced with the little boy as best she could. He seemed happy enough.
    ‘Would you like to dance?’ Lisa caught him off guard.
    ‘Urm…I’m okay, I’m just waiting in line to have a dance with Sahara.’
    Lisa looked over at Sahara and nodded.
    ‘I see, good luck with that.’
    ‘What’s that supposed to mean?’
    ‘She’s not into men. Sometimes I think she’s a lesbian. The way she clings to Emily amazes me.’
    ‘Nah, that can’t be it.’
    ‘Well I don’t spend enough time around them to know what’s going on. All I know is that she’s never really dated.’
    ‘So you don’t spend enough time around them and yet you know she’s never dated. A bit contradictory, don’t you think.’
    Lisa knew why Sahara didn’t date, but she wasn’t going to share it with him. Telling him would only make him want her more, or not, but Lisa wasn’t going to risk it. She’d had him first.
    ‘Maybe, but whatever the reason, you don’t stand a chance. Now, would you like to dance?’
    ‘You want to bet?’ He started in the direction of the dance floor and stopped beside Sahara and the little boy. ‘Excuse me young man. Do you mind if I have a dance with this beautiful young lady?’ he asked.
    ‘It depends,’ said the little boy cleverly.
    ‘On what?’
    ‘If she wants to.’ The little boy looked up at her. He’d been instructed to be a decoy each time some man tried to either ask her to dance or do anything else. So far he’d done a great job.
    ‘It’s okay Russell, you’ve done a great job.’ She winked.
    Russell nodded and stepped back.
    ‘Would you like me to comeback a little later?’
    ‘Yes that would be great.’
    He left them.
    ‘Hmm, he has a thing for you,’ said Eugene.
    ‘Ha, it’s just an internal thing.’
    ‘Another one, wow, you are a mysterious woman.’
    ‘I try to be. I have my reasons.’
    ‘Care to share them.’ He tried again.
    ‘No. Like I said, you’re still a stranger to me.’
    He took her hand and they began to dance. Emily had caught sight of them and she looked at Myles.
    ‘ Myles, what’s he doing. Don’t let him – ’
    ‘Honey I tried. He wouldn’t listen.’
    ‘Try harder!’
    ‘ Sahara’s a big girl, she can take care of herself.’
    There was a look of horror on her face.
    ‘I’m sorry honey, but I think she’s quite capable of getting rid of him. Look at her though, she looks…happy.’
    Emily gazed at her friend who was smiling from ear to ear.
    ‘That maybe so now, but we both know he’s a player.’
    ‘What would she tell you right now?’
    ‘What do you mean?’
    ‘If you said the exact words you said to me, to her, how would she respond?’
    Emily’s shoulders suddenly relaxed. ‘She’d tell me to live in the moment.’
    ‘Exactly, and that’s exactly what she’s doing. She’s not thinking about tomorrow, or wondering if he’s going to be there long term. She’s just enjoying a dance. Let her.’
    ‘Oh alright.’ She leaned into him. ‘Do you know that I love you?’
    ‘Of
