"I apologise. I didn't mean to upset you. I just... want to be sure I won't say anything out of line, later on."
She turned to him and smiled with a single head shake. "No, no, it's all right. I'm not upset....at all. Everything will be fine. She took a step toward him in the process. It was at this point when she heard the words, "Would you join me for a dance?" as he took her hand.
She smiled brightly, "Why I would love to dance with you, Erik Corvin."
Walking with him to the stage, the placed her hands on his shoulders while his found their way around her waist. She kept her smile and looked up at him the whole time. She didn't know the words to the song nor did she even know what it was but it was pretty and with the stage occupied with couples dancing, he kept playing.
She was speechless, lost in the moment. She was feeling closer to Erik. She hadn't felt this happy in a very long time.
