"Imagine, in a while, everyone will be dancing in the middle of the dance floor, while you and I will be 'squashed' among them. Anton smiled. He could tell that I was hesitant. "Just follow my steps. I'm sure you will get the hang of it soon."
Since that was the case, I decided to give it a shot. Plus, it wasn't like I didn't dance with Anton at the Alpha Conference all those years ago. I nodded at him and said, "Okay."
