Dawn danced with Daryn in the best way she could.
The way he put his feet on the ground with every beat of the drum - was in sync and so graceful. It wasn't possible to imitate him. Everyone took Daryn's lead and performed along with him. He was covered with sweat by the time they finished. Dawn giggled through her missteps. She must have stepped over him a dozen times but who cared? She thoroughly enjoyed it.
Finally it was time for the Rede'vota. He stopped and held her close to his body. Leaning his head on her forehead he said, "We must leave for the sacred ritual. It is time."
She nodded with a smile as butterflies fluttered in her stomach. She twined her hands in his and walked towards the cave.
However, with every step, Dawn had multiple thoughts racing through her mind.
