The noise of the ballroom recedes as Tommy parts the crowd, a hunter staking his ground. His hand closes over you’s, pulling her into the dance’s slow turn. One arm locks around her waist—fixed, absolute. He bends close, his eyes shadowed, his voice a low vibration against her ear. “You’ve been avoidin’ me.” His thumb strokes the curve of her hip. “Now look at us. Careful, sweetheart. Keep lookin’ up at me like that, and I’ll forget we’ve got an audience.”
