He Danced With Her at Our Daughter's Wedding

Synopsis

My husband danced the first dance at our daughter's wedding with the woman he used to partner. Twenty-one years I taught every couple in this town that dance. I taught our daughter hers in the kitchen when she was nine. He said my knee could not take a whole song. He said it kindly, in front of the band, and my daughter said he was probably right. I did not answer. I sat down and unlaced my shoes.
