Bobby Freeman: "Well, do you wanna dance, under the moonlight? Hug and kiss all through the night, now Baby, do you wanna dance?"

Even though we were still wearing our work clothes, albeit a bit raunchy, Janice and I decided to chill out at Night Moves. That's the nightclub where people go to be seen. We did not fit in, but it mattered little to us.
I ordered Vodka with a lime and Janice did her little umbrella drink. The music was loud and lots of skin was showing. My desire to just sit and watch was matched by Janice. It'd been a long day.
Spaced out I heard Janice ask "Whacha pondering?"
"Well, I want to be eighteen again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas. How about you?"
"I'm going to get a Life Alert bracelet so if I get a life I'll be notified immediately!"

Janice shouted loud enough for me to hear "Isn't that Vince Swagger, the visiting quarterback for tomorrow's game?"
The lighting was poor but I had to agree "Thought he was married, and that don't look like his wife."
"I agree. Doubt his wife would grind him like that in public."
For whatever reason Vince glanced our way when the song ended. He returned the little wispy thing to her table. Janice and I sat drinking without talking. Our silence was interrupted with "Would you like to dance?"
