Re: Tim & Effie & Open
As the door slammed shut on any further aspirations for the evening, Tim found himself in the strange place where on the one hand he was greatly disappointed, while on the other he was pleased that she was being loyal to him. It was odd, but he took it with a slow nod and a smile.
"I understand", he said with a tinge of regret, which was not difficult as he did not have to fake it. "We don't have to dance. There are still a lot of other things I could show you, people I could introduce you to if you like."
