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.”

Devin stopped in his tracks. He knew he couldn’t follow her there.

Becky cast her a sidelong glance and said flatly, “I agree with your first sentence, but not the last one.”

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

Becky took a glass of wine from a passing waiter and said lightly, “Oh, you’re wrong about that.”
