I decided that this fic will be a scrapbook of VA snapshots. Various characters and times.
This particular snapshot is Lissa and Christian at the dance in Vampire Academy (the one just before the lust charm)

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me." she purred.
But of course, there were also a lot of things she didn't know about me.
I smiled – not quite a predatory smile, but not a meek one either – and held out my hand. She took it – as I'd known she would – and stepped gracefully towards me, onto the dance floor.
I signaled the band, and smiled again as the soft strains of a waltz washed through the room.
I pulled her to me, with more force than strictly necessary, pressing her lithe body against my own. I placed my hand on her waist, she lay hers on my shoulder, and we began.
The music washed over us in soft golden waves, bringing color to her cheeks and a sparkle to her eyes.
I could get lost in those eyes, I mused, watching flecks of gold dance in their jade green depths.
The candles that lit the room gilded her hair, burnishing her sunkissed locks with flashes of gold. We glided around the room, keeping effortlessly in perfect synch. Neither of us spoke, choosing instead to converse with our eyes. She studied me, as I studied her. Memorizing, measuring, uncovering secrets and mysteries.
The music ended, the last notes falling away around us, and we swayed to a stop.
"Well?" I couldn't resist asking.
She smiled, showing the tips of delicate white fangs. "I think, Lord Ozera, that I require another dance."
