Leah walked into the ballroom wondering why she had ever agreed to this. She decided she had agreed to come mainly to prove that she didn't love Jacob as she was determined to do anything to make Jacob think that she didn't love him. After much persuading from Anita and after Anita had bought Leah a very expensive dress, she decided that she had to come.

So now here she was, walking slowly down the grand stairs in the beautiful red dress that Anita had spent half her savings on and refused to take back. Leah scanned the room and eventually noticed Anita and Jacob, twirling around the dance floor. Leah sighed; they looked so carefree and happy. She made her way to the side of the floor and felt rather awkward just standing and watching. Everyone else was talking in groups or dancing and Leah didn't feel like making conversation with strangers and she definitely wasn't going to ask someone to dance.

Eventually Jacob and Anita finished dancing and spotted Leah standing sullenly in the corner.

"Hi Leah!" called Anita, pushing through the crowd and pulling Jacob with her, "we were beginning to think you wouldn't come because you're so late!"

"Well I did come" said Leah, wishing she hadn't already.

"Well, I'm glad you came" said Jacob with one of his wonderful smiles "do you want to dance?" he asked Leah, still grinning.

"No" said Leah at once.

"Oh, come on, we called a truce, remember?" then he whispered "it's not fair on Anita if we're at each other's throats all the time, I'm making the effort so you can as well."

So Leah had no choice but to dance with Jacob. But even though she was terrible at dancing she didn't mind, because she was in Jacob's arms and it felt wonderful. Then she saw Anita standing in the corner and she remembered all the reasons why she couldn't be with Jacob. She remembered the reason she had run away in the first place and suddenly she couldn't take it anymore. She wriggled out of Jacob's arms and screamed "I hate you Jacob!" and started running towards the door, sobs threatening to escape her throat.

She turned a corner and found herself face to face with a man she had never seen before.

"Hello" he said, a little bemused at suddenly seeing a woman rush round the corner towards him. "Are you ok? My name's Harry by the way" he said, smiling. And suddenly Leah decided to show Jacob that she didn't care about him at all.

"Yes, I'm fine thanks" Leah grinned "do you want to dance?"
