“What?”
With a tilt of her head, Julia shrugs. “Just imagining you in your kilt.”

If she knew the room was going to break out into another round of applause as she took to the dance floor, Julia would have parked herself at her table for the whole night, but the dance floor was in full view of her seat and she had watched all the dancing with envy long enough.

It’s a devastating realization that he’s had to keep repeating to accept it.
“Dave, I thought we were moving forward.”
