He stood off to the side and watched the dancers. The men twirled their female partners around and around. The sound of laughter along with the toe-tapping music was contagious. And then he saw her—Violet Jeffries. She stood by the refreshment table talking to another woman. She had her hair pulled back with a bright blue ribbon and her dress was a blue ruffled thing that looked mighty good to Miles. He admired her small waist and long slim neck. He couldn’t decide who was prettier, Violet or her sister Ivy. He had to get up the nerve to ask her to dance or something. He just had to get to know her, but what if she refused? He walked casually up to the tables that were laden with snack foods, and two punch bowls. Violet smiled at him as he approached. His heart pounded so hard he almost forgot to return the smile. “Have we met?” she asked. “Not officially,” he said, trying to act cool and relaxed. “I’ve seen you come into the bank, I work there.”
