My best friend and I were out dancing at a country bar, a regular girls night out...
Just as we were thinking about leaving, a boy asked me to dance. He didn't look like he belonged, wearing a loose t-shirt and gym shorts. I initially said no. He asked again and this time I thought "why not".
We got to talking (and dancing) and it turns out he had just returned from deployment that day (he was a marine), this was his first time out in over a year! He wasn't prepared or even in the mood, but he went out with his friends anyway. We danced one dance, and then my friend wanted to leave. As I was walking out of the bar he called after me, and thanked me for taking a chance with him.
That night we danced one dance, and we have been together every day since then.
