IT TAKES TWO

We were all drinking around the beach bon fire. He kept going on and on about how the only way to really learn to tango was to do it naked. Elizabeth knew tango and she disagreed. "Have you ever tried?" he challenged. She laughed him off, but he insisted. "You can't dismiss it if you've never even tried!" We were all feeling the warmth of the fire and the wine. And soon everyone was egging on Elizabeth to try. We were all friends, and Elizabeth seemed to be laughing as much as anyone--it wasn't mean peer pressure, just silly. In fact, we could tell, she just needed a little prompting. And she did.

"Ok," she said, "show me what you got."

Elizabeth and Gary put on the best naked tango dance we'd ever seen, and probably ever will.
