“You buy so little and ask for even less, which makes me want to spoil you. That’s not how I grew up, which you will soon see.

I respect that, and your parents for raising you to value friends and family over money and power.”

“Claire tilted her head back, giving Luca her best fake smile.
“Ortiz, I don’t think those basic dance lessons have sunk in. I’m the follower, remember? That’s not in my job description.”
“Call it common courtesy then.” Luca’s grip around her waist tightened slightly, and Claire belatedly realized she was still pressed against his chest, one hand resting on the bare V of smooth skin.

“And while we’re on the subject of courtesy,” Luca’s dark eyes mocked her. “People usually say ‘thank you’ when someone does them a favor.”

“Claire shook her head. “I’m not that young. In dance years I’m practically middle-aged. I can probably compete for another ten years, but once I hit thirty, I’ll be ancient. That’s why it’s so important to compete in Blackpool now, I don’t have time to waste. Once I’ve made a name for myself as a dancer, then I can relax a little and take it easy.”
“And here I thought I’d been partnered with a nice young lady,” Luca joked. “Are those highlights or grey hairs?”
Claire scowled. “That’s not funny.”
“What’s funny is your Cuban motion,” Luca continued, “I thought your hips were stiff because you’re not used to moving them, but maybe you just have arthritis.”
“Seriously,” Claire’s mouth twitched, “stop it.”
“Or what, you’re going to chase after me with your cane, Grandma?”
