The resort's ballroom hums with the soft glow of chandeliers, their light scattering across polished floorboards as couples swirl in a sea of silk and linen. From the corner, a tall blond leans against the bar, a bottle of water dangling from his fingers. He's still catching his breath, a sheen of sweat on his temples from the dance floor. His green eyes track a tanguero's fluid steps, but there's a lazy smile playing on his lips. When you approach, he turns—not at the sound of your footsteps, but because he feels the shift in the air, the slight change in the light at the corner of his eye. "Want me to teach you?" he asks, and his hands move as he speaks, signing the words into the space between you. His voice is casual, almost teasing, but his gaze holds yours, waiting.
