Trevor extended a hand to her in invitation.
“May I have this dance, miss?”
She accepted.
Trevor glanced around at the crowd of phantasms. He recalled her fear that first time and warned lightheartedly, “I’m afraid a lot of people are watching.”
Nina smiled and answered, “As long as you’re watching.”
She stepped close, wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her cheek on his shoulder. It felt nice. Comfortable. Familiar.
Trevor cleared his mind of the troubles of the world that waited outside the dream, and took her in his arms. The strength he felt in holding her was no illusion.
“I go out walkin’ after midnight, out in the moonlight, just hopin’ you may be, somewhere a-walkin’ after midnight, searchin’ for me…”
The music played, the crowd walking Broad Street parted around the dancing pair, and Trevor and Nina swayed gently back and forth—together in a world of their own.
