to
him before.
    “May I have this dance?” He says and shoots an eye
to Steven.
    She doesn’t want to dance with him, but Steven’s
watching. She puts her hand in his, he jerks her up and she’s
slammed against his chest.
    “Are you a cave man, Jake? Why don’t you just throw
her over your shoulder and carry her off!” Steven yells at him.
    “Sorry.” He says and looks at Steven.
    “Don’t apologize to me. Judy is the one that just
got jerked around.”
    “Sorry.” Jake blushes and releases some of the
pressure on her hand. She didn’t want to say anything to show
weakness with the guys but she’s relieved. He’d squeezed so hard
its dead white.
    Instead of taking hold of her like Steven did, he
takes both her arms and puts them around his neck and then pulls
her hard with his hands on her butt and she’s flush against him.
She feels him all over her. She throws him to the ground and puts
her foot on his neck. “Back off, asshole!”
    “Next.” Steven yells out.
    Clarence is black and huge. She’s watched him for
years, getting bigger and stronger. His arms are bigger than her
butt. He could crush her in a second and Steven made her take her
gun off?
    “May I have this dance?” His voice is musical and
soft.
    She puts her hand in his, glances at Steven to make
sure he’s nearby and watching.
    Clarence’s hand is soft and warm and he holds hers
gently. He walks her slowly to the center of the gym, turns her
wide until she’s facing him and takes hold of her like Steven did.
He’s at least six foot seven and it’s hard to look up at him even
with her at five foot ten, but boy can he move. She’s really moving
and they’re flying around the room. Once he holds her hand above
her head and made her whirl in a circle like a ballerina and then
brought her back to the way it was before.
    “Am I doing okay?”
    “Judy, you are beautiful. It’s a real pleasure to
dance with you.”
    “Thanks. What do you do when you’re not working out
or dancing,” she laughs and realizes that she’s having fun.
    “I’m an accountant. I have my own firm.”
    “That’s wonderful. Are you married? Do you have
children?”
    “Elise and I have been married for eighteen years.
We have three children.”
    He talks about his kids and his face lights up. He’s
interesting and before she knows it the music stops. He doesn’t
offer his arm, but keeps her hand and walks her back to the
chair.
    “Thank you for a wonderful dance, Judy.” He smiles
and his face is sweet and gentle. She doesn’t know why she’s ever
been wary of him. She could be friends with Clarence, even if he is
a man – a very, very big man.
    “Next!” Steven yells out and Jeremy approaches
her.
    “May I have this dance?” He grins and holds out his
hand.
    Again protocol, she puts her hand in his. His hand
is small. Hers is larger. Jeremy is also about five inches shorter
than she is and it feels like she’s draped over him. His face is in
her boobs. He’s standing about a foot away and takes jerky steps.
Side to side, front to back over and over, it’s uncomfortable. She
can’t see his face, only the top of his head and it’s hard to have
a conversation. So she doesn’t say anything.
    After a few minutes, Steven walks over and taps him
on the shoulder.
    “May I cut in?”
    Jeremy let’s go of her and backs away as Steven
takes hold of her. It feels like coming home.
    “How am I doing?”
    “You’re a natural, just like you are with everything
you do. I would like to offer a little fatherly advice now.”
    “Oh don’t say that!” She feels her eyes tear and
it’s so wrong but she can’t stop. She wants to run away from him,
but he won’t let go.
    “What?”
    “You’re not my Dad, thank God. Don’t say that, I
don’t want to hurt you.”
    “Okay, I don’t want you to hurt me either. I just
wanted to tell you that you don’t have to dance with anyone you
don’t want to. It’s acceptable to decline an invitation to
