When the song ended, Becky stepped down from the dance floor, carefully lifting the hemline of her dress so as not to trip. Devin followed her and pointed out, “I thought you said you couldn’t dance.”

Jessie pursed her lips and continued stubbornly, “You two looked awesome together on the dance floor.”
