This earned him a bright smile from Lisa. "I've heard the Aussies are a fun bunch. And one person's boring might be another's charming, so don't sell yourself short. Not every girl wants the bad boy. I've been there, done that. It got me two beautiful children, but it also got me a lot of pain and heartache. The silver lining was that it drove me to be successful and independent. Life's just a roadmap of experiences, good and bad." She patted his arm softly. "Don't feel stupid. It just means we can get to know each other on our own."

His hand went to her waist and she put hers on his shoulder as they started to dance together. It was a slower song, which was nice. She had never been the sort to cut a move on the dancefloor to dance music. "You work at the hospital? What is it that you do there?" she asked, intrigued. But then she was smiling at him again. "Well, thank you, Sam. I have to say right back at you, too. The colour of your suit brings out the colour in your eyes."
