it.”
    Something beyond the fundamental attraction of being close to him, at least. Paige had felt that from the start, of course. Most women would, she knew. But what she’d felt when they’d been dancing just now had been so much more than that. Something had changed. Something had shifted. In the best possible way.
    “What you said last night about Ginger Rogers acting her way through it made a huge difference,” he told her. “If you hadn’t been here with me every step of the way, if you hadn’t known how to put things in exactly the right way, so that I could think like a dancer, I would never have known how to dance like that.”
    Hearing his praise, Paige felt a wave of satisfaction run through her. She was always happy when one of her students had a breakthrough, but with Christian it felt like so much more. Just seeing him look so happy about his achievements was something so simple yet powerful. She could feel that happiness practically radiating from him.
    She was also aware of how special he had made her feel, too. Here at the roller rink, it had felt like he’d transported her to another world where it was just the two of them. Where everything was amazing, and doing something crazy like kissing him was the most wonderful thing she’d ever experienced in her life.
    Right then, she didn’t feel even a hint of regret about the kiss they’d shared. How could she when it had been the perfect way to end a perfect dance?
    “How about Indian takeout tonight?” Christian suggested as they gathered up the skates they’d taken off and put them away.
    Paige loved the image of the two of them together on the couch once again. They’d been there the last couple of nights, but in the wake of their kiss, the image felt different. Tonight, it seemed to hold all kinds of promises. Promises that made Paige shiver slightly in anticipation, because being close to him now would never be the same. Even dancing with him held a different kind of anticipation now that they’d kissed.
    “I’d love that,” she said. “We’ll have to find another great Fred Astaire movie to watch.”
    “Something tells me I haven’t even begun to make a dent in your dance movie collection.”
    He was right. They still had plenty of movies to go through—and plenty of nights’ worth of takeout. Paige could so easily imagine sharing her couch with Christian for many nights to come. She knew it was a dream, but right then it felt so good she wanted to believe that it could be true. His dancing had helped to transport her to a beautiful, magical world that she didn’t want to leave. Not yet.
    When he reached out to take her hand as they walked back to the car, she not only let herself enjoy being with him, she also allowed herself to look forward to more of his kisses once they got back to her place.
    “There he is!” a voice shouted from the parking lot.
    “Christian! Look this way!” someone else called.
    A crowd of people were approaching them, phone cameras flashing. There were only a dozen or so people, but they were making enough noise for two or three times that many. Most of them appeared to be young women.
    Paige immediately slipped her hand from Christian’s, hoping no one had gotten a clear picture of them together.
    “Karen must have posted something on the Internet,” Paige said. How could she have forgotten that was going to happen? How could she have gotten so wrapped up in Christian that she’d forgotten about the real world?
    He shrugged, as if it was the most natural thing in the world for a crowd to be waiting outside for him. “Don’t worry, I’ve got this. It wouldn’t be right to just ignore them, but we won’t be delayed long. I promise.”
    He turned on his full movie star smile as the crowd of fans got closer, moving forward slightly to meet them. “You must have been waiting for a while,” he said to them, turning on the charm that came so effortlessly to him.
    That was all it took for everyone
