Patrick was at the party with Delilah. They'd been working together a while now and he looked forward to the times he had an excuse to visit the studio. Delilah was fun. He hadn't thought twice about inviting her to attend the Yule festivities with him. Neither of them was courting anyone and he knew he'd have a good time with Delilah.
They'd been there a while and partaken of food and wine. When the band struck up a cheerful waltz, Patrick couldn't resist asking, "Will ye dance with me, Delightful Delilah?"
