"Oh sweetie, it’s about time someone showed her something real," he whispers. Cordelia nods shyly.

Lorne cues up the song requested as Cordelia walks over to their table where everyone drinks, but no one talks. She steps up to Faith just as the music starts and holds out her hand beckoning to the younger woman.

"What?" Faith looks up, but not into Cordelia’s eyes.

"Ssh..Listen."

Would you dance if I asked you to dance
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight

Faith understands nods shyly and takes Cordelia’s hand following her to the dance floor as the song continues. They embrace one another loosely, Cordelia’s hands on the slayer’s waist and Faith’s arms around the seer’s neck.

Would you tremble if I touched your lips
Would you laugh
Oh please tell me this
Now would you die
For the one you love
Hold me in your arms tonight

Faith doesn’t quite understand, but who is she to question if the most beautiful woman in the world (well, in her opinion anyway) wants to dance with her. She would never refuse Cordelia anything. She loves her too much for that. Yeah, love that dirty four-letter word has finally found its way into the dark slayers vocabulary and her heart.

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Cordelia wants Faith to know she is her hero. How many times now has she saved her? How many nights stayed with her through her visions?
How much longer can she deny she loves her? She can’t.  No, not anymore.

Would you swear
That you’ll always be mine
Would you lie
Would you run and hide
Oh, my angel to be
Have I lost my mind
I don’t care you’re here tonight

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Cordelia pulls the confused woman into her arms so their bodies mold to each other. Faith isn’t sure at all what is going on, but she is damn well going to enjoy it while it lasts. She snuggles into the taller woman’s shoulder.

Oh, I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you, oh yeah
Have I lost my mind
I don’t care you’re here tonight
