She's never been to this part of town before, and they visited often. More fascinating is that the building they enter is actually an old ballroom, and the average age of the couples waltzing on the vast dance floor is approximately twice that of hers and his. Roman's penchant for finding unexpectedly interesting places hits the mark again.
"When's the last time we danced for the fun of it?" he enquires, guiding her further inside until they blend in.
"Wish I could remember," Lucia admits, laughing when he twirls her rather competently before curling her back into his arms. As his hands rest on the small of her back, Lucia melts into his strong body, sheltered by his warm embrace as they slowly rotate to Ed Sheeran's soothing serenade.
"Thank you. For everything," she whispers, "I don't know what I'd do without you."
"You don't need to thank me. I'll do anything for you. All you gotta do is ask."
For a long moment, neither speak, their racing heartbeats doing the talking for them. Then, Lucia blurts out, "What if I wanted a kiss from you?"
Her voice is so small he almost misses the question. Staring into her eyes, the love and need he sees in them, mirroring his own, makes his heart beat faster.
"Just ask, baby," he replies softly.
Lucia looks at Roman, really looks at him, and wonders how she has been so blind. Smiling, she lures his face down to hers. "Kiss me."
