Maggie wore a light blue sundress and white strappy sandals. Justin was wearing a tan and white checked shirt, a white sweater vest, and khakis. They enjoyed their dinner, Maggie was amazed how well Justin got along with her parents, and how much her parents loved him. They'd liked Ryan so much she didn't think they'd ever like another guy she dated.
The four of them were sitting around the table after they were finished eating, listening to some songs that a dj was playing softly in the background. Just then one of Maggie's favorite songs came on. "Oh, I love Celine Dion," she replied quietly. Justin smiled to her and grabbed her hand. "May I have this dance?" he asked sweetly, kissing the back of her hand. She blushed and nodded.
He led her onto the dance floor and took her into his arms. He held onto her with everything he had, trying not to think of how he only had one more day with her. He could feel the goosebumps go up Maggie's arms as he reached his arms around her tightly. They swayed to the music slowly together, every part of them in sync, even their breathing. Justin rested his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes. She was mouthing the words to the song to him as tears filled her eyes. He smiled to her as tears filled his own eyes. He held her closer until it felt like even their hearts were beating together as they swayed back and forth.

Laugh and cry, live and die
Life is a dream we are dreaming
Day by day I find my way
Look for the soul and the meaning
Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore
People run, sun to sun,
Caught in their lives ever flowing
Once begun, life goes till it's gone
We have to go where it's going
Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore
And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes from you
*~*Then You Look at Me*~*Celine Dion*~*
The words to the song meant so much to Maggie. After Ryan left her life, she didn't think she could ever love anyone again, but somehow, her heart had opened up to Justin, almost without her even knowing it. The way she met him and how he came into her life so quickly still amazed her. She thought about how lost she had been after Ryan was gone, and how she had felt that way for almost two years. But now she didn't feel lost anymore, and she felt that just by looking into Justin's eyes. Just as the song put it.
