Beautiful.

It's the first word that comes to my mind as I watch her walking towards the dance floor, towards me.

I feel... mesmerized, by her.

She is wearing that beautiful light purple gown. The spotlight following her, enlightening her skin even more, as she walks on the big round dance floor.

The waltz music starts playing and we start moving along with it slowly.

We dance.

Step by step.

Being so close to each other.

Oh!

Oh no! It's really happening!

I find myself leaning in, too. Our faces are only an inch apart now. And then she starts closing the gap between our lips-
