As soon as the carriage pulled away from the castle Mary started to tell Molly what happened and bombarded her with questions.
"What happened when I lost you? I was so worried then I met a wonderful man, his name was John. He works for the Prince, isn't that interesting? I had a wonderful time, he is certainly the one I want to marry. Can you imagine me as Mrs Watson?"
"Yeah. Mary would you mind if I walked the rest of the way home, it's only across the field it's my favourite walk."
"Oh, ok, was it that bad?"
"No it was perfect. That's the problem. For the rest of my life I will have a perfect memory, meaning nothing can ever compare."
"You could find the guy and make him marry you"
"No I couldn't because I danced with the Prince"
"Tell. Me. Everything. What's he like?"
"He was tall, very tall. His hair is dark and wavy. He was slim, very slim. When he walked across the ballroom floor he was like a thing devine."
"Wow, you got it bad"
Next minute the carriage speed and Molly got out.
"Thank you so much for tonight, you have no idea what it means to me"
"Oh I think I do, night Molly. Sweet dreams."
Molly waved the carriage away, turned and started to dance through the field.
She started to sing to herself " rainbows raced around the room when he danced with me. Shooting stars began to zoom as he danced with me. In his arms I was ascending, then my world became a magic blending of dreams and hope and love. When he danced with me. Though I know this lovely life was only a fantasy, and I know tonight is all there will ever be. Dancing in his arms forever my heart will never be free dreaming of the night he danced with me."
By the time she got to the house, she could hear that the others were close. So she ran as fast as she could to get changed.
Once she was changed she ran down stairs, and was very glad to see the fire hadn't died. She started to boil some water. As her family walked in.
"Anthea, you still haven't said who you were dancing with"
"I told you I don't know his name"
"MOLLY!"
"Yes"
"Oh your still up, well we're going to bed. "
"Yes I'm very tired" Anthea said
"Your tired?"
"Yes, I'm tired"
Molly waited till that were all you stairs and in their rooms .
As Molly walked past Anthea's room, she popped her head in to say thank you.
"Hi Anthea, have a good time?"
"Molly, Oh goodness me yes"
"I wanted to say thanks for lending me the dress, but also I have to apologise, I lost one of the shoes."
"Molly,it doesn't matter, I have plenty of shoes, did you have a good time?"
"Yes, it was the best night of my life, I danced with one of the Prince's"
"Me too"
"Really"
"Yeah, Mycroft was such a gentleman"
" I guess this means you'll be leaving soon"
"No I did the same as you, I ran away"
"Why?"
"I didn't want mother to scare him off, there both intelligent, I don't think it will take them long to work something out. Just so you know after you left he looked heartbroken."
"Can you keep my secret?" Molly asked.
"I can. Will you keep my secret?" Molly nodded.
"We will have a secret that will make us proper sisters"
"May be both find out loves"
"And our lives" Molly added.
"The day came through"
"Away I flew" Molly said in a daze.
"On my lips he left a kiss, and we danced when he promised always to love me"
The pair were telling the stories of their night, and fell asleep with a smile on their faces.
