Chapter 616

• Jack and Lynda looked back out on the floor as the dance was coming to an end. Ben and Sophia were the only ones dancing as everyone else was just watching. "He dances beautifully," Lynda sighed and Gabriella nodded as she got up to go to him.
• Jack was connecting his discussion with Ben the previous night to Gabriella's confession. Ben hadn't told him who the monster of his childhood had beaten to death. Just that he was terrified he was following in the man's footsteps. Jack felt deeply relieved he'd gotten through to Ben to make him realize he was his own man and shared no other significant traits.
• Sophia was trembling with joy as she and Ben stilled themselves on the last note. "That was so wonderful Ben! Thank you!" she gasped. He smiled and bowed to her then released her fingers and moved towards his table.
