A Stop in Time

A dance. A slow dance. A sweet dance. A dance unlike any other.

Jonathan and Lily's dance at the Mardi Gras ball was quite special, nothing like I've ever seen before. Lily doesn't like to be touched, but she found a way to dance with her boyfriend. They held up their hands as if they'd touch, but they don't. Time stopped, and everyone else disappeared. How that can happen I don't know; I guess it was a dream shared by both of them. They gazed into each other's eyes as if looking into each other's soul. It was magic - sweet, beautiful magic. Then the dance began... Jonathan and Lily moved about the room, twirling all around in ballroom style...without touching. It was an expression of pure, innocent love. And at the end it seemed as if they'd kiss. Each had a hand raised to the other's face, still not touching, but they did not kiss. Then time resumed; all the other guests were back.

It was a special moment away from time, where two people could be in a world of their own. I'm not sure how I feel about Jonathan and Lily, but their dance was truly fascinating.
