Julianna blinked back at him, pretending to be jostled when he nudged at her. There was no proper answer to his question. She danced in the sense that sometimes she jammed around the apartment when a particularly good song came on, but she didn’t think that’s what he was asking.
“Uhm…”
It wasn’t an answer, but Owen didn’t seem to need one. He was taking her by the hand and pulling her from the booth, saying how lucky she was. She felt pretty lucky, in that moment, but not because dancing was kind of sexist. Julianna was pretty sure she was the luckiest girl in the room, to be out, on a date, with him. At no point in the evening had she felt guilt for being a married woman who was out on a date with another man. Which she should have registered as a hint, but she trying not to think about it, and enjoy the moment.
She was all smiles and giggles as he led her onto the dance floor. The grin was a permanent fixture on her features, as he led her through the music. She was nervous at first, but the steps were simple and she apparently had a good teacher. Another peal of laughter as he spun her outwards, a tug on her hand bringing her back against him. Now, she really wished she’d worn a cute skirt. Her hair would serve as a decent replacement for now, the wild curls were a bouncy mess as they danced.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
