Sherilyn was clad in her custom performance attire, her legs elongated and straight, her waist so slender it seemed almost fragile.

As the music ebbed and flowed, her steps tapped rhythmically on beat, perfectly in time.

Edgar grinned, his smile going from ear to ear.

It was the first time he felt this way, a tumultuous, uncontrollable warmth, as if standing amidst flames…
