The Captain's Courtship (2012)
“Claire took her place opposite Richard and curtsied to his bow. Though she hadn’t even started dancing, her heart was drumming in her chest. She could barely hear the music Samantha was playing, or the dance master’s instructions as he said, “Take right hands and circle left.”
Her fingers slid easily into the cup of Richard’s large hands, her arm supported effortlessly. The floor felt foreign beneath her as she turned with him, as if she was dancing on the warmth of his smile.
“Pass sho...ulder to shoulder,” Monsieur Chevalier called.
Richard released her to move past her, gaze on hers, body inches away. She caught the scent of bright spring air and cool water. Her shoulder only came to the center of his chest.
“And back.”
Here came the first test. Claire took a deep breath and stepped back. Her leg held. Thank You, Lord!
