She smiled and acknowledged me. My heart raced as I slowly moved across the crowded dance floor into the waiting seat beside her. “Hi, how are you?�...�� A soft sweet voice from her ruby red lips. “I’ am really well thank you”. I smiled brushing her shoulder as I grasped for her drink. “Would you like another one?” I asked to offer my services to her. “Well I was actually thinking about leaving, I’m so sorry but no.” Bec said with a downtrodden face. “Why so early”?
