Chapter 1 A Chance Encounter

Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter

Ava Moreno's love for dance was evident in every step, every movement. As a dance instructor, she lived for moments like these – teaching others to express themselves through music and motion.

As she locked up the dance studio, Ava couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. She had just landed a new client, a wealthy businessman who needed lessons for his upcoming wedding. The pay was substantial, and Ava couldn't wait to put the extra funds toward her own dance studio.

Just as Ava turned to leave, a sleek black car pulled up beside her. The window rolled down, revealing a handsome face with piercing blue eyes.

"Miss Moreno?" he asked, his deep voice sending a shiver down her spine.

Ava nodded, feeling a flutter in her chest. "That's me."

"I'm Julian Blackwood," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. "I'm the one who's been referred to you for dance lessons."

Ava's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met. There was something about Julian that drew her in, something that made her feel like she was drowning in the depths of his eyes.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Blackwood," Ava said, trying to sound professional despite the butterflies in her stomach.

Julian smiled again, and Ava felt her heart flutter. She had a feeling that this was going to be a very interesting dance lesson indeed.

As Julian stepped out of the car, Ava couldn't help but notice the way his tailored suit accentuated his broad shoulders and chiseled physique. She felt a flush rise to her cheeks as he approached her.

"I'm so glad we could meet, Miss Moreno," Julian said, his eyes locked on hers. "I'm afraid I'm not much of a dancer."

Ava smiled, trying to put him at ease. "Don't worry, Mr. Blackwood. I'm here to help. Shall we schedule our first lesson?"

Julian nodded, pulling out his phone to check his schedule. As he scrolled through his calendar, Ava couldn't help but notice the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck.

"Would tomorrow evening work for you?" Julian asked, looking up at her.

Ava nodded, trying to sound casual despite the excitement building in her chest. "Tomorrow evening sounds perfect."

As they exchanged numbers and finalized the details, Ava couldn't shake the feeling that she was in trouble. There was something about Julian that drew her in, something that made her feel like she was walking on air.

As they parted ways, Ava couldn't help but wonder what the next evening's lesson would bring. Would she be able to keep her professionalism intact, or would she find herself falling for the charming and handsome Julian Blackwood?

As Ava began to teach Julian the waltz, she couldn't help but notice the way he moved. He was awkward at first, his steps hesitant and unsure. But as the lesson progressed, Ava saw a spark of determination in his eyes.

"You're a quick learner," Ava said, smiling as Julian executed a flawless turn.

Julian grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I have a good teacher," he said.

Ava felt a flutter in her chest as their eyes met. She quickly looked away, focusing on the music and the steps.

As the lesson came to a close, Julian thanked Ava and promised to practice before their next session.

"I'll see you tomorrow, then?" Ava asked, smiling.

Julian nodded, his eyes locking onto hers once more. "I'm looking forward to it," he said.

As Ava watched Julian leave the studio, she couldn't shake the feeling that she had just gotten herself into something much bigger than she had anticipated.

Little did she know, her life was about to change forever.

As the days went by, Ava found herself looking forward to Julian's lessons more and more. She enjoyed watching him improve, and she was impressed by his dedication.

But it wasn't just Julian's dancing that Ava enjoyed. She found herself drawn to his charming smile, his kind eyes, and his easygoing nature.

Ava tried to push the feelings aside, reminding herself that Julian was engaged to be married. But she couldn't help the way she felt.

One day, as they were taking a break during a lesson, Julian asked Ava about herself.

"What made you become a dance instructor?" he asked, his eyes curious.

Ava smiled, feeling a sense of nostalgia wash over her. "I've always loved dancing," she said. "I started taking lessons when I was a little girl, and I just fell in love with it."

Julian nodded, his eyes sparkling with interest. "I can see why," he said. "You're an amazing teacher."

Ava felt a blush rise to her cheeks as she looked away, trying to hide her feelings.

But Julian's next question caught her off guard.

"Ava, can I ask you something?" he said, his voice low and serious.

Ava nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. "What is it?" she asked.

Julian's eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked.
