Patrick and his wife joined a dancing class.
The teacher told him to stop counting aloud and listen to the music.
Patrick tried, but began counting again.
The teacher asked what made it so difficult….
Patrick agreed to ballroom lessons for his anniversary.
His wife, Anne, had been asking for years.
The teacher showed them a simple step.
One, two, three. One, two, three.
Patrick counted loudly enough for the next couple to follow him.
The teacher asked him to feel the rhythm instead.
Patrick stopped counting. His feet stopped too.
They tried again.
One, two, three.
The teacher asked why he couldn’t trust the music.
Patrick looked at Anne.
For thirty years, she’s told me not to take three steps without asking where I’m going. Now everybody’s upset because I’m checking.
