"Thank you" , he replied. "I figured that we would skip a few steps
in this game we are playing and start here with something close. I am
pleased that you do not mind." he continued softly.
They danced several more songs, long into the night. Some slow, others more
up beat, but all that required some body contact. The way she moved, the
grace, the... style impressed Sam very much. It was so innocent, yet
experienced and strong. It was like nothing that he has seem, or felt
before. Something inside Sam told him that he liked this woman- Res. Told
him that he liked her a lot.
It was early in the morning, station time, and the evening had gone so
well. But he was starting to wind down. As they danced yet another slow
tune he wispered softly to her, "It is getting late Res. While I would just
love to spend the night here dancing and have a great time with you, it is
time that I should be going. Duty will call in the morning, and no mater
where I go I can not hide from that reality. After this dance, I will have
to take my leave, but may I walk you somewhere before we have to part
company?"
