Teresa Davis entered Good Time Charlie’s dance hall as the song, Red Solo Cup, blared from the stage and the patrons joined with the singers, holding their cups high. Scanning across the dance floor she saw her friends waving madly for her to see them.

Becca, an anorexic looking redhead, pulled out a chair for her. Glad you could make it, Terry. You look great tonight.

When the song ended Tony turned to Terry and took her hand. Ah, Teresa, please stay for another dance.

Terry loved the feel of this guy. Polite, considerate, and his grip on her hand was gentle, not desperate like most men. I’d love to, Tony.
