"His right hand held my lower back firmly, pressing me against him, as his left hand roamed my waist, gripping my ribs and tracing my spine. He pressed his forehead to mine, his breathing ragged and husky.
The song seemed to last an eternity as we swayed together. The feeling between us was all-consuming, making my body both numb and alight with flames. The moment together and the feeling of his arms around me made me feel ten times lighter. Everything suddenly made more sense and I felt the courage I'd been longing for."
