Last Dance

The Last Dance. They had been dancing to the tunes of a juke box, now it was dawn and they were alone except for the barman who was asleep leaning his head on his folded arms on the mahogany counter. Soon the sun would break through followed by the day and they had to face the dreaded future. Both were married but not to each other, were their love strong enough to survive the glare of the day? They didn’t know the answer, just one more dance. Hell will come tomorrow with its heartache and loss, but not yet. My god, let this moment last forever.
