With a sympathetic look, Kit reached out and took both of Mona's hands in his own before squeezing lightly. "You look so good," he said, a soft smile forming on his face. "I'm not giving you false flattery just because I like you. You look stunning tonight, Mona, and everyone in there is going to think the same. Hell, even if they don't, we'll be having too good a time to pay them any attention anyway."
With one final smile, Kit brought one of Mona's hands up to his lips and placed a kiss there before returning it to the crook of his arm and leading her back towards the entrance. "Now, let's go and have a ball," he said, repeating his pun from earlier on in the day with the hope that it would take Mona's mind off her nerves momentarily.
