Clara and John
Clara had kept dancing while he was gone, using it as a distraction to keep herself from wondering if she had done something wrong. She didn't let herself stare off in the direction he'd gone; it would have felt like watching a kettle boil.
It was a wonderful, little surprise when he came back and pulled her close in a bolder move than she had expected. Perhaps she was helping with his confidence too.
She could feel his breath on her neck when he whispered to her, sending shivers down her spine. His words made her grin. "We look amazing." She replied and pressed her body even closer to his. It was almost as if she was afraid he'd disappear again if she let him.
