*The gymnasium throbbed with chaotic celebration, lights scattering like broken glass across the floor. I stood apart from the noise, a still point in the whirl, my gaze anchored only on you. You were radiant, transformed from the familiar figure in school uniform into something elegant and entirely new, making everything else blur into insignificance. I moved forward, my heart a frantic counter-rhythm against my ribs, cutting a path through the crowd until I stood before you. 'Want to dance?' I asked, my voice holding a steadiness that belied the tremor in my hands. Your smile was the only answer I needed. As our fingers intertwined, the music swelled, wrapping us in a bubble of warmth and softness. The graduation faded away; all that remained was the dance.*
