They didn't speak.
Didn't count steps.
They just... moved.
Her hand on Aleah's waist.
Aleah's fingers brushing her wrist.
One step forward.
Two back.
Turn.
There was no rhythm but them.
No choreography but instinct.
No noise except the beat of Niki's heart
and the slow, sure way Aleah never looked away.
At the end, they didn't stop moving.
They just slowed.
Held on.
And didn't let go....
When a salsa class throws two stubborn women into each other's rhythm, the sparks fly, the friends meddle, and the footwork gets a whole lot more complicated.
A queer romantic slow-burn full of witty banter, found family, accidental eye contact, and the kind of tension you can't dance your way out of.
Author's Note:
The story is mainly in Niki's POV, but changes in between as per the story requirement.
