Nope. Being held by Liam wasn’t her objective. She wanted to ease the solemn look off his face and have him participate in the evening. Was that too much to ask when she threw strangers together? He needed to smile four more times. Maybe if he asked Shana to dance, she could accomplish that.
And maybe he would go home with Shana.
She stumbled.
Brad tugged her into the familiar steps of the Lindy. She let the music and Brad spin her into a happy place.
She and Brad had learned how to Lindy from his parents. They’d dated once, but as usual, they’d decided they were better off as friends. Her dating history was pathetic.
Brad pushed her out so their arms extended, then he tugged and she spun back to him. They rocked back and forth to “Rock Around the Clock.”
They settled into the setup of their signature move. Brad grabbed her by the waist, and she swung her legs from one of his hips to the other.
“Do the flip?” he mouthed.
She shook her head. “No!”
They were laughing as the music ended, and he spun her into his arms once more.
“That was great,” Brad gasped.
Dolley twirled around. “I loved it.”
“Thanks.” He walked her back to the table. “Nothing like reliving our youth, but I’ll be stiff tomorrow.”
They talked for a few more minutes, then the people at Brad’s table waved him back.
“You looked good out there,” Zach said.
“You should dance with your girl.”
“I’m holding out for a slow song.” The band finished a song to applause and then broke into a ballad. Zach grabbed his date’s hand. “That’s my cue.”
Dolley grinned as they moved to the dance floor. They looked good together. She took a swig of her drink. Damn. It was gone. She caught the server’s eye, and the woman gave her a nod.
“I’m going to have to call you twinkle toes.” Liam’s deep voice above her head rumbled through her core. He sank into the chair next to her, smiling. There was number two. Only three more to go.
“Abby has the twinkle toes in the family.” Dolley bopped her head to the music. “She used to dance.”
“You could have fooled me.” He set his half-drunk beer next to her empty glass. “Can I get you another?”
