Wedding party (J&J) (12)

Ellie is usually good in talking with people, but now she can't find any right words to say.

She is too close to Jasper. Her right hand rests on his shoulder while her left one is in his… and she is aware of his broad shoulders and how tall he is… and her brain is refusing to work. His intense icy-blue eyes not leaving hers don't help either.

Song ended and she exhaled.

"Is that how much your 'thank you' goes?", Jasper asked when Ellie took a step away from him.

"What?" Ellie was super-tense and wanted to increase the distance between them. Jasper being less than a step away caused her to have an endless collision of emotions and thoughts which she didn't know how to handle.

"I was hoping that we can dance longer.", he extended his arm toward Ellie and pulled her back into a dance-appropriate distance.
