Dane by Sara Jones

Dane:
It was good to see my best friend, Colin.
He brought his daughter into the military base, and she told me about her first soccer goal.
I was happy for her, and in a good mood. Until Colin reminded me of the upcoming Military Ball.
Dread swept over me, as I had no idea who to take.
Colin wanted to help, so he offered to set me up with someone I had always been fond of.
Savannah.
I never thought she would agree to go, but when she does, I assumed it was just to be nice.
But when the night comes, we both have a fantastic time.
Maybe the attraction wasn’t one sided after all.

Savannah:
I couldn’t believe Dane wanted to go to the ball with me.
Dane was an attractive military man, and someone I wish had made a move on me long ago.
The ball went great, but right when he was about to kiss me goodnight, we were interrupted.
I was disappointed and didn’t know if things were going to happen between us.
Things went slow the next week, and I tried to take my mind off of our failed ending to the night.
I didn’t expect to find him supporting my niece at her next soccer game.
I hoped that he would ask me out so that we would have another shot at a first kiss.
