Dom led her out onto the dance floor, bowing to her slightly before putting
a hand on her waist and leading into the song. She didn't know how long
they danced, Kel was just so content. 'If this could go on forever, and I
would be eternally happy,' she smiled, meeting Dom's eyes and they twirled
around the dance floor gracefully, a perfectly matched couple. Kel saw Neal
smirking and winking out of the corner of her eye, but decided to ignore it
as Dom's arm circled her waist.
Men continually came to cut in, but Dom's arms tightened around her waist defensively not wanting to let her go, whenever someone would come to ask, "No, I'm sorry," Kel would say, with a small smile on her face, noticing his actions, "Dom is my escort tonight." They would bow, some with frowns, and wander off, and he would smile at her as they continued to dance. Finally, they slowed as the music began to die as couples began to fade and disappear.
"Lady Knight," Dom asked once they had stopped, "you have too many friends who like to dance," he smiled, as she did, they had danced with each other all night, rejecting any other offers, "would you care to walk with a lowly sergeant?"
Kel pretended to think very hard, "I think I might be busy," she teased, lightening the mood, she nearly laughed at his crestfallen face, "But I think I could fit you in, seeing as I've known you so long." She smiled as they walked arm in arm out into the night.

They walked in silence through the garden. Dom's eyes were looking straight ahead and Kel's were stealing glances at him, 'He probably wishes he was with someone else right now', she thought after a glance, forgetting the way he had been looking at her all night. Of course maybe she should have watched where she was walking, because suddenly she was falling down.
"Kel!" Dom cried, obviously startled. He tried to grab her arm to catch her, but she pulled him down with her into a flowerbed.
Kel started to laugh and Dom joined in after recovering from the fall. After a while they stopped and just sat where they were, looking at the night sky. Kel looked over and saw Dom was staring at her. She frowned and reached a hand up to her cheek, "What is it? Is there something on my face-- " He grabbed her wrist, leaned in, and silenced her with a warm kiss, she seemed to forget the world around her as his lips were on hers. Her eyes were wide with surprise when he pulled away.
"What are you doing, Dom?" She gasped. The kiss had felt so right, so perfect; she wanted him to do it again. She had loved how it felt, lost in his blue eyes, he grinned at her, "This--" he said and kissing her again, circling strong arms around her back, pulling her closer to him. This time she kissed back and wrapped her arm around his neck, pouring her feelings for him that had been covered and hidden for years into this kiss; nothing she could remember had ever felt like this before.
