Erin places her hands on Jillian’s shoulders.

Erin “Um, actually with this song it helps to slow down a little.”

Jillian slows down almost to the point of freezing up.

Jillian “Okay.”

Erin positions herself and Jillian for dancing, having her right hand intertwined with Jillian’s left and her right against Erin’s left hip. Erin’s left hand is on Jillian’s right shoulder as the vocals kick in on the song.

“Out of touch
Out of reach, yeah
You can try
to get closer to me”

Jillian is leading, but she follows Erin on how and where.

Erin “Not bad.”

Jillian wants to respond, but being this close to her crush has caused more staring into her eyes than talking. As the song continues, Erin lets Jillian know when to spin her and Jillian on cue does so. Their dancing is a sort of waltz between them. Finally, Jillian is able to speak again.

Jillian “You’re really good at this.”

Erin “I’m just learning this on the go with you.”

Jillian “Really?”

Erin “I watch some clips online every once in a while, try to take notes.”

Both smile and their eyes lock on some more. By the end of the second verse, Erin is spun again and this time without warning. She laughs from the spontaneity and as her spin completes, she finds herself in a different dancing position with her partner. Her hands are now on Jillian’s shoulders as Jillian’s hands are on Erin’s hips. They have become closer over the past few years and they have been through quite a bit together with adventures and everyday life. Their dancing slows down as “Hysteria” by Def Leppard continues on. Jillian’s voice is almost a whisper as their noses almost touch.

Jillian “…I’m not too close am I?”

Erin’s eyes cannot escape Jillian’s, her voice almost whispering as well.

Erin “You’re fine.”

“Hysteria, when you’re near.”

Reaching the song’s bridge, their tranquility is broken with the door swinging open suddenly and Abby emerging.

Abby “Guys!”

She sees the two of them dancing and though she knows this has been building for some time, it cannot wait.

Abby “Uh, I hate to break up the wedding, but we’ve got a situation.”

Both look at Abby, still holding close to one another on the rooftop. Just as the guitar solo is about to hit, Jillian presses Stop.
