At Joanna and Paul’s wedding reception, Ibrahim dances with Joanna and is struck by how free and painless dancing feels compared with his usual physical aches. Around them, other guests dance less elegantly, and a circle of onlookers begins to form as Joanna and Ibrahim become the focus of the floor.

While they dance, Joanna asks Ibrahim whether she is marrying Paul too soon after only six months together. Ibrahim realizes Joanna wants advice, and he explains that people usually choose advisers based on the answer they already hope to hear. He says Joanna did not ask Joyce because Joyce’s overwhelming concern for her daughter’s happiness would make her too cautious, and Joanna cannot ask her dead father, whose honesty she trusted most.

Ibrahim concludes that Joanna already knows the truth: she is not making a mistake. Because Joanna chose to ask him, he believes she wanted someone wise and emotionally clear to confirm what she already feels, that Paul is right for her and that the marriage is a good one. His reassurance settles her doubts and turns the dance into a moment of affirmation.

Joanna then asks Ibrahim whom he once fell in love with. Ibrahim reveals that it was a boy named Marius, who is now dead, and Joanna understands that Ibrahim’s loneliness comes from still carrying that loss. Ibrahim says he can still see Marius now, even at the wedding, suggesting that grief and memory remain a living presence for him.

As the song ends, Joanna thanks Ibrahim with a kiss on the cheek. Ibrahim notices that Chris has had some awkward mishap on the dance floor, but before he can go to investigate, Joanna points out that many women are now approaching him for dances. Patrice immediately takes Joanna’s place, making clear that Ibrahim has become unexpectedly popular.
