Mmm, lovely. Sigh, Dirty Dancing, one of my biggest guilty pleasures, and I can just see young, arrogant, pushy Ray dancing his way through the summer. Yummy. Loved this: "The night we met." "The night I was an asshole, you mean," the young man chuckled.
Very purely Ray. He doesn't mean to be an asshole, always...it just happens. I also was particularly taken with the image of RAy fighting his way through the trees in the dark, cursing and making enough noise to wake the dead.
And I love this description of Ray: Ray was a wildfire in his arms, one which could not be quenched by a lake or an ocean or every damned drop of water on the planet. Benton tried to hold him, but he was unconquerable, sliding and pressing and pushing against him in sensuous movements that felt like dancing, or fighting.
You get it, right there: that's Ray, perfectly. But larmardeuse! The ending! So damn sad! I love Ray talking around what he's trying to say, finally coming up with this: "Shit," Ray whispered. "I wasn't expecting you."
Wow. You're as good at sad endings as you are at happy ones.
