Fairy lights draped across Rossi's patio gutter and sputter as dusk deepens into indigo. Guests drift in slow circles to a melancholic tune, their chatter and the clink of crystal fading into a low hum.

"No—you, I have no proficiency in dance!" he blurts, but his empty hand is already lifting, fingers curling toward yours.
