Elephant Love

Scene One

The Dance

Each night, he would go down to the jazz club. Just to see her.

She was a dancer, only a chorus girl, but that simplicity... was what drove him there every time. The moves were nothing over the top, she wasn't cast as the lead often. Yet, every time she moved, her entire frame was in sync to the rhythm. Her entire spark was with the music.

A look. A smolder. A quick cheeky glance to the audience... He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She was a magician. A spell caster. Every time she moved her body, sparks would ignite.

And he wanted her.

A quick connection here and there, he ask around if she'll have a number of her own. Soon enough, when he came that very specific night... She glowed.

She was but a spark when she was a chorus girl. Now, she was a blaze. Streaking with pizzazz and force, she commanded the stage, the audience... She was the center of attention in the room. His spark raced every time she rocked her figure in a savvy gesture, but what got his systems rushed in madness in her act was when she winked before the lights came down...

And he knew immediately she must be his.

But then...

It was all for show. None of this was real. When someone was in the club, there were rules... and falling in love with someone who could cast illusions, no matter how good it seemed, was a fatal one to break.

She could only be admired upon... loved from a distance.

But that didn't stop him from drawing closer to her.
