Chapter 37: Casa de Luca

We finished eating and Luca drove me to the warehouse. I sat on the couch and watched their practice. I was without a partner and pregnant, so I couldn't really practice anyway. I wasn't even paying to everyone; I was lost in my thoughts. All of the sudden, Luca was standing in front of me, holding out his hand. I looked around and noticed that everyone was gone.

"Luca," I said.

"No," he said, pulling me to him again. "When you were dancing, you were happy."

"When I was dancing with Hayden, I was happy," I corrected him. He sighed and took a step towards me, making me take a step back. One two three, one two three; over and over again. He smiled lightly.

"See? It's just a simply waltz... Nothing fancy," he said. I sighed and followed his lead. I didn't want to admit it, but it was helping. After a moment, I found a small smile creeping on to my face.

I looked around curiously when we pulled through a gate and up a long driveway to a huge house. I looked at Luca before I looked around confused. I never really thought about where everyone else lived, but I assumed it was an apartment or something. I wasn't expecting this at all. It
