Liesl stood in her bright red dress and high heels waiting for Isaias to pick her up from her brother’s home.

“Aunt Liesl, you look beautiful.” Her niece Winnie stared at her with wide eyes.

“Thanks, love.”

“Mommy said you’re going to go dancing and she told Daddy you might even do a horizontal tango. What kind of dance is a horizontal tango!”

“Meredith!” she bellowed in the direction of the kitchen where her sibling and his wife were snickering. “If you don’t want me telling your five-year-old exactly what kind of dancing I’m intending to do with a very sexy man, then you should come collect her.”

A knock on the door made her groan, certain the man who had come to collect her heard her comment as Meredith and Fred came racing in her direction. She pulled the door open and was rewarded with a huge grin plastered on the face of the man on the porch.
