"I vas looking for you," he said. "Vould you do me the honor of joining me for the Yule Ball?"
"Really?" she asked in astonishement. "Isn't there someone else you'd rather go with?"
"Dere is no-von else."
She could feel herself blushing.
"The other girls, dey are not who they are." He paused as he tried to get his thoughts in order. "Like chameleon, dey change." He stared down at her. "You do not change."
She tucked a curl behind her ear, chewing on her lip as she considered. He said he did not want to go to the ball with any one else, and he had clearly asked her first and without hesitation. She couldn't think of a reason not to say yes to him; after all, it wasn't like she was waiting on an invite from anyone else.
"Okay," she finally said. "Yes, I will go with you."
And with a simple nod, he was gone.
