I can envision the conversation and the tension in the room as he sought your "advice" not so much about salsa but about life, living, relationships.

It's neat that even though you aren't super close, he trusts you enough to share this with you (even if you'd probably rather he didn't!). That speaks volumes about who you are, I think! :)<br /><br />I liked how you included both the dialogue between the two of you and your subsequent thoughts. It made for really interesting reading!
