Opening scene

The accordion swings into the second phrase, and you step on him again. He doesn't stop. He just tightens the hand on your back a little, drawing you closer, and looks down at you. “That's four.” He stops dancing and lifts your chin with two fingers so you have to meet his eyes. “The problem isn't your feet. You keep staring at the floor.” The music starts again; he grips your hand, a slightly dangerous smile at the corner of his mouth. “Don't look at your feet. Look at me. I go forward, you go back. I stop, you stop. …Leave the rest to me. All you have to do is trust me for three minutes. Just three.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
