Abner dragged Lillian out onto the floor, and that's when Sl excused himself from the table.

"I'll be right back Luc...just give me a sec." she complied, and he got up.

Abner and Lillian were dancing about on the floor to an upbeat song, really catchy. Over the loud speaker, Lillian yelled "These guys are really good!" Abner replied "Yeah, I know!" both were enjoying themselves up until the very end of the song, and that's when Al did his job.

He called over the bassist, a good frind of his.

" 'Ey, Lek, would you guys mind playing a slower one for Abs over there? He's got a new girl with him."

Lek grinned with delight. "Yeah, we'll hook him up."

Al ran off the stage and back to his seat when Lek yelled to his guys "Alright fellas, Moonlight Stroll." and with that, he grabbed the mic, and said "This is for the lover birds out there, grab your mate and let's...dance."

It was a slow song. Abner asked Lillian "Would you allow me to have this dance?" she nodded.

They started dancing, really slow, with his arms around her waist, and her arms on his shoulders, and as the song progressed, her arms moved around his waist, squeezing him. She felt her eyes warm up, she began to feel sick. She hugged him tighter, as a single tear rolled out of her eye. It dripped onto his shoulder, she burried her chin into his chest.

"I love you Abner..." she whispered. "You're an amazing person..."

He heard her mumble, and aksed "What?"

"Nothing, Abner." she smiled up at him.

"Why are your eyes red?"

"They're not...it must be the light." she laughed it off, hoping that she was covered. She didn't want him to know she was on the very verge of crying.

After the dance, Abner drove her back to the castle. He pulled up to the front door on his scooter, and as he walked her to the door, he felt her embrace him in a hug, and he kisssed her forehead.

"Thank you for comming, Lillian."

"Thank you for inviting me."

As Lillian walked into the castle, Abner drove away on his scooter, wishing he would've asked her.

'Why couldn't I have jsut said it? It's 3 simple words...'Will you be my girlfriend'? That's it.' He thought the whole way home.
