Chapter 7

The weekend event, held at a well-known resort hotel on the beach, included classes for both students and teachers. Sam always looked forward to the teachers’ classes and made sure not to miss her favorite tap class that first morning. As she walked in the door and sat on the floor to change her shoes, an attractive woman with sparkling blue eyes and an infectious smile sat beside her.

“I just love these ‘old folks’ classes…makes me feel like I can still get out there and really dance.”

“Me, too,” replied Sam. “The teachers seem to appreciate the fact that we even try to keep dancing.”

“I’m Lisa…and you are…?”

“Samantha. Sam to my friends.”

“Well, we can always use more friends…Sam.”
