She looked up at the Marine in front of her. “You really knew him?”
He smiled. “I did. And I can tell you, he talked about you every single day.”
Another Marine stepped forward. “We’ve heard all about your dance moves,” he said with a grin. “And your favorite boots.”
Anna blinked. “You know about my boots?”
“Oh, absolutely,” he said. “Your dad made sure of it.”
The frontman stood and addressed the room.
“One of our own made us promise that his daughter would never stand alone at a dance like this,” he said. “We’re here to keep that promise.”
Then he turned back to Anna and offered his hand.
“May I have this dance?”
