Re: ~8-ish, near the dance floor (Kami, Navid)
Kami looked momentarily surprised that he would ask that and it took great effort not to let her eyes drift in the direction of the bar. She told herself that Jack probably wasn't even there, anymore; he finally got the hint and had moved on to hunt someone else. She turned her smile up to eleven and shook her head slightly. "Just someone I used to know," she hedged. "It's okay, Navid. He's not going to do anything worse than ask again... and again... and again."
She laughed then, faint and musical. His expert lead continued to lead her in the dance and she added an almost formal quality to it, charmingly tongue-in-cheek. "Please don't worry about it. All of the other birthday dances, this one included, have been perfect."
