She rolled her eyes. “Well, I especially liked the grand finale.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Mm, I was very impressed how you slid onto your knees before blowing me a kiss.”

“You’re talking about the figure skating,” I grumbled.

“Oh, you mean you were talking the game?” she asked. There was a look of innocence on her face but a cheeky glint in her eyes.

I struggled to withhold a growl. “I wasn’t talking about the game or the figure skating, Sunshine. I was talking about the part where I won you over.”

She laughed. “I’m fairly certain you won me over long before you started figure skating in a silly hockey game.”

“Silly hockey game?” It seemed there were still certain things I needed to convince Violet of. “It’s okay. I’ll make a hockey fan out of you yet.”

She smirked as she looked me in the eyes. “Maybe you already have.”

As we continued to dance, she wrapped her hands around my neck, and her fingertips started trailing softly against my skin, sending a delightful shiver down my spine. I definitely liked dancing with Violet. In fact, I thought it might just be my favorite thing.

“You know, I heard a very interesting rumor about you today,” she said, pulling back to look at me.

“Really? I didn’t realize there were any left.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are plenty more that remain unanswered.” She laughed. “But this one I’m extremely curious about.”

“Okay…” I probably should have been worried, but she was still smiling up at me. It was hard to believe she might be about to ask me something uncomfortable when she looked at me that way.

“Well, I heard a rumor you might like me.”

“Interesting.” I grinned before pulling her close to me and, in one swift move, dipping her low to the ground. I was sure we were attracting far too much attention from the students dancing around us. But right now, I felt too light to care.

I leaned in close and whispered in her ear, “That one, I’m afraid, is true.”
