The jerk and then how easily Demelza moved away was rather telling. Even if Demelza didn't protest vocally and even if she didn't have a look of disgust on her face, the message was clear. She didn't like. She didn't want it. Katie felt a heat begin to rise in her cheeks. Suddenly she didn't much feel like dancing but she didn't want to make Demelza feel bad for not wanting that kind of attention.
She continued to dance. Moving back a little to give Demelza more room.
