RAEANNE THAYNE 197 She was starting to sag, though. As he moved around the dance floor with his niece Natalie, he watched as she shifted positions several times during one song as if she couldn’t quite get comfortable, and though she smiled with delight at something Marilyn Summers was telling her, her eyes looked tired. His love for her was a fierce ache inside him and he didn’t know what in the hell he was going to do about it. He couldn’t bear thinking about a life without her in it, but he didn’t see any other choice. “Ow! You stepped on my foot again, Uncle Jake! I’m gonna go dance with Uncle Seth. He’s a lot better dancer than you.” He laughed and shifted his attention back to his pouting niece. “Yeah, well, I’m sure he’s probably better at a lot of things. He spends enough time practicing.” Natalie looked remorseful, as if afraid she’d hurt his feelings. “You know, I’ll practice with you anytime you want. You only stepped on my toe a few times.” He laughed again and kissed her on the top of her head. “I won’t torture you anymore, sweetheart. Go find your uncle Seth. Look for the big huddle of giggling girls and you should find him.” Natalie kissed his cheek then flitted off. When he lifted his gaze, he found Maggie staring at him. Their eyes had met occasionally throughout the evening, but somehow this time seemed different. She seemed to stop whatever she was saying and just stare at him. He had heard people talk about time standing still, but until that moment he thought it was just hyperbole.
198 DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT Even from twenty feet away, something in her eyes made him forget everything else—the party, the music, the laughter. All he could focus on was her.
