Cissy/Ric
There were several reasons why Cecilia Curtis was so excited about this dance. For one, she looked amazing in the dress she had picked out to wear. It was unique compared to all the other girls who seemed to think that you had to wear a little black dress to an event such as this one. For two, she had gotten some amazing news today which she couldn't wait to share with her date. And for three, she had a date with the man of her dreams. That's right, Godric Witt had agreed to accompany her to the dance, and she was positively thrilled by this. Granted, she was certain it was only a friendly gesture on his part and a means to distract himself from his own drama, but still, it would be nice to be on his arm and to be the center of his attention.
Because Ric lived off campus and had to get ready there, and Cissy lived on campus and had to not only get ready but also had to take care of getting Grace situated with her sitter, they had agreed to meet at the dance, or outside of the dance rather, as she wanted to walk in with him because it would feel more like he was her date that way. And so it was there she stood, just outside of the recreation hall, waiting on Ric to arrive. She was early, not a typical trait when it came to Cissy, but she was certain Godric would appreciate her promptness, and she was nervous, another atypical trait, which was clearly evident by the manner in which she fidgeted with the hem of her dress.
