Magical - Mollie and AJ's Strictly Story

Part 21 - A little Blackpool magic

I stare at the beautiful creature in the mirror. What have you become, Mollie? You're exquisite. I have never looked or felt more beautiful. I am a vision in sparkling silver. I can't take my eyes off my reflection.

Then he appears in the mirror next to the silver angel who can't help but smile at her companion. He is equally beautiful – both stunning and striking. His outfit is simple: there is no need to improve on perfection. And then he smiles...

We are radiant. He slips his arms around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder, our cheeks touching. Close enough to feel each other's heartbeats. He breaks our eye contact and looks to the open doorway. Then he kisses my cheek. I beam brighter. He holds me closer for a fraction of a second and then breaks away as another person enters the room. I smile at the friendly intruder who tells us it is time for us to do our final rehearsal.

In those few magic moments, all my fear has left me. I am ready to spread my wings. I am going to fly.
