Astoria had barely noticed Marcus walk up to her, so when he said her name, she looked up at him in surprise. A smile immediately played across her lips as she stood up to take his hand. "I'd love to." She leaned into him and gently kissed him on the lips to say hello before pulling away with he hands at the insides of his elbows. "I'm surprised you're here. I was sure you'd be sick of these things by now."
She wondered if he was there with a date, but it was no matter, she was as well. Leaving her half full glass of wine forgotten at the table, she hooked her arm in his and walked over with him to the dance floor. Once they arrived, she turned so that she was facing him, her arms reflexively hooking at the back of his neck. She bit her lip, before moistening it with her tongue and smiling at him. "You look incredibly handsome, as usual. Though I would expect nothing less from the Marcus Flint, himself."
