Dec 11 HLotD: Dance with me
This one was hard at first, but once I got into it, it was fun.
I stood at the end of the dance-floor beside my friends, entirely engrossed in conversation.
I normally would join them, but tonight all I could think about was the curious man across the room. He looked familiar, but I wasn't sure what for, therefore I thought it best that I do not cross the floor to speak with him.
"Madame," a man said, stirring me from my thoughts. As I regained concentration, I realized it was the curious gentleman from across the room.
"Greetings miss, I did not mean to startle you," he continued, "I simply wished to introduce myself. I am Mr Holmes."
"Elizabeth Atherly , pleased to meet you," I replied.
"Miss Atherly, please excuse my ill manner, but would you like to dance with me?"
Excitement overtook my body and I was unable to reply by any means other than a simple nod of confirmation. I could hardly believe myself, I hardly knew this man. Of course I knew of Mr Holmes, however, I never imagined I would dance with him. As he lead me onto the dance floor there was so much I wished to say, but after further consideration decided it would be too embarrassing for the poor man, so I held my tongue.
I will always remember the day I met Mycroft Holmes.
Please Review! I like to know what people think of my stories
