Chapter 83

"May I have this dance?" a voice asked behind me, breaking my reverie.

When I looked around, Curt was holding out his hand, raising an eyebrow expectantly.

I let out a deep breath. "Well "

He laughed, making the cleft in his chin more prominent. "Well, don't sound so excited," he teased.

I smiled as I looked down at his hand and then back up into his eyes. "Sorry. I'm here on business with a client and my mind was a million miles away." I looked back at Casey, feeling very protective of her.

"She's doing well," he said as he held out his hand again. "Just one dance? I'm sure she'll be okay without you for a few minutes."

I smiled as I looked into his blue eyes. "Okay, but only one."

He smiled, clearly amused. "Okay. I'm going to hold you to it."

I laughed and then took his hand. "Okay. You twisted my arm."
