AT THE VALENTINE'S DANCE!

FEBRUARY 14, 1860

She looked to whom he was talking about and whispered to him. "It doesn't matter because I am with the best looking man in here."

They shared a brief kiss and went out to the dance floor where a slow song was being played from the band.

"This is such a wonderful night, thank you for asking me to go Gavin."

"You�re welcome, besides I had to come to the Valentines dance with the prettiest lady in town."

Jasmine looked into Gavin�s eyes as they slow danced in the center of the room. It had been a perfect night and the dance was going great. A lot of people showed up and there were many people dancing around them. Jasmine looked away and noticed an old couple dancing and thought how wonderful it will be for her and Gavin when they grow old together. They danced the night away, only dancing the slow songs because they hadn't learned to square dance yet.

Throughout the night Jasmine and Gavin watched as Rose and Ted danced. They knew that Rose and Ted were just friends, and that Rose had wanted Jesse to ask her to the dance, but neither one of them saw Jesse. They assumed that he hadn�t come to the dance. They had both been hoping to see Jesse to ask him if he would at least ask Rose to dance. They knew that if Jesse and Rose danced than tonight would be very special for Rose. They hated to see their daughter sad.
