Honestly, the narrative hadn't even been exaggerating much. Annie had been lacking for opportunities to dance for long enough that she'd practically jumped at the opportunity to practice -- and help Watts out in the process. (And maybe she could roll this into a little proposal of a dancing date of her own. Maybe for Valentine's!)

In any case, she was right on time and dressed to dance -- which is to say, leggings so she wouldn't risk tripping on a cuff, a comfy top, and dance shoes with a chunky heel. She'd thought about digging out a dance skirt, but given that Watts was also going to be applying this with a partner who would presumably not be wearing one himself, she felt it might be overkill.

She knocked, taking the idle time as an opportunity to roll one ankle again. She'd already stretched downstairs, but you really couldn't warm up enough for this kind of thing.
