I think this is a second read for me - I hope I said something profound the first time. If not - shame on me.She thinks that he’s leading, and he thinks she is, and it turns out that the two of them are simply spinning. Whirling together until he’s nauseous and dizzy but he doesn’t want to stop. This particular dance may be strange and brutal, but she’s still his partner and he’d give up everything in the world to keep that. A wonderful metaphor for their relationship at that time.

This was lovely and heartbreaking and then happy-making. Thank you.
