Author's Note: For ashthedrabble on LJ challenge: Dancing

It was a rare sunny day in mid-April. Vows had been said, birdseed had been thrown, and they had all gathered under a tent in the family garden for food, drink, dancing and cake. He'd enjoyed good food, good champagne and good conversation with a distant cousin on his mother's side.

Some three songs ago, a little girl with dark blond curls bouncing around her shoulders, and eyes of emerald, had hauled him to the dance floor. She didn't take his stuttered protestations for an answer, and stood on his feet to keep up with his steps.

"Dance, Uncle Rupert!"
