Stomp!
Her feet stand perfectly still.
Stomp!
He shakes the ground with his heavy feet.
Stomp!
She can feel his nearness.
Tip tap! Tip tap!
She taps her feet nervously.
Tiptap! Tiptap! Tiptap!
Her feet could not hide her uneasiness.
Dug dug! Dug dug!
He runs, mimicking the beat of his heart.
Dugdug! Dugdug! Dugdug!
His heart is out of control. He is out of breath.
Tiptap! Dugdug! Tiptap! Dugdug!
Then, silence.
No “Tip”. No “Tap”.
A different sound plays — one made of different fancy notes.
Her feet dares to come closer. His does the same.
Their feet brush against each another.
Dug dug! Dug dug!
Their hearts beat a steady melody.
Lalalalalala!
Their feet begin to move in unity.
Swish! Woosh!
Their feet explore the wide ballroom.
Ching! Chang!
It feels like a fairy tale.
Ta-da!
The light spots them and the movement ceases.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The crowd appreciates their moment.
Swish! Woosh!
Their feet dance again.
Tap… tap.
The evening slowly fades.
Shhhh….
Everyone else is gone. The wind is their only company.
Tip.
He moves closer.
Tap.
She moves closer.
Tip.
They stare lovingly at each other.
Tap.
Their feet touch.
