Early though it was in the evening, she was quite pleased when he asked her to dance. She'd just been thinking of asking him, after all, and she smiled, nodding her head as she answered him.
"I would love to," she told him before working to finish the last of her cocktail. Luckily, there hadn't been a lot left and she was able to set her empty glass down on a table.
She remembered all too clearly how similar this was to a time earlier in the life, but that only made her smile more. Punishments aside, she certainly hadn't minded how they'd ended up on that particular evening and while she wasn't looking past the dance right now, she certainly wasn't likely to object if history repeated itself. After all, wasn't this what these things were for? Dancing and flirting and having a good time.
