After a while, someone turned on some music and everyone started to dance. Luke watched Flora dance with her friends, laughing and acting silly. Suddenly a slow song came on. Flora was headed towards the kitchen when a handsome young man asked her to dance. She accepted. Luke turned away as the pair started to dance together. He gritted his teeth in frustration and walked out of the room, angrily brushing away the hot tears. He sat on the bed in guest bedroom and tried to think of anything but Flora dancing with the handsome stranger. The song changed and Luke heard someone yell, "Girl's choice!" followed by lots of giggling. Luke buried his face in his hands.
"What am I supposed to do?" he whispered. Someone touched him on the shoulder and he jumped.
"Want to come dance with me?" Luke looked up into Flora's brown eyes.
"Me?"
"Well, there's no one else in the room, so, yeah you!" she giggled.
"Oh." Luke let himself be led onto the dance floor. He placed his hands on her hips and she dropped her arms around his neck. They swayed in time to the music.
"Why weren't you dancing?" Flora asked.
"I-I don't dance."
"You're dancing now."
"Because you asked me to."
"Because I asked you to?" Flora asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, you're the birthday girl. If I had said no, you would have killed me!" Flora laughed softly at this. A moment's pause then,
"This is nice." She remarked.
"Yeah." Flora closed her eyes and rested her head on Luke's shoulder. When the music ended, they stood there for a moment, then let go.
