“I can’t dance.”

Mabel raised her
eyebrows at her boyfriend of two months. Lazy Susan had closed up the diner to
throw a Halloween party, and half the town had somehow crammed themselves into
the tiny log shaped building.

She wrapped her arms
around his waist, her head butting into his lower chest.

“No one else can
either,” she pointed out.

This was true. Uncle
Dan and Uncle Tyler were attempting to two-step and instead spent the majority
of the dance stepping on each other’s toes instead. Stan and Soos’ Abuela were
doing a weird sway walk across the floor, and Grenda and her fiancé Marius were
doing…something. Henry wasn’t sure what but it involved lots of chest bumping.

He looked down at Mabel’s
head.

“I’ve….I’ve never
danced before,” he admitted shyly.

Mabel did not loudly
exclaim at this, or immediately start reeling off dance steps or asking
questions he wasn’t sure he wanted to answer at ten pm at the pancake shop.

All she did was put one
of his hands on her shoulder and the other around her waist, before placing
both of hers on his hips.

“Just follow my lead
and remember-“

She beamed up at him
and it was perfect, she was perfect
and he was reminded once again how there was no one else in the world he wanted
to be with than her.

“You can’t be any worse
than Toby and that weird cardboard cutout he’s macking on.”

Henry snorted, and they
began to slowly sway as the Monster Mack came on the jukebox.
