544. Dance with me
Mauve sat on Jael's legs as she watched Seraphino bow to Jael before he walked away. The smirk on his face made her feel a little nauseous or that might be the wine, it was hard to tell.
The party wasn't proceeding as fast as she thought it would and time dragged on like a toddler learning to walk.
"You look bored," Jael said.
"No, I don't. Besides, you can't can't even see my face," she responded.
"But your sighs are loud."
"No, they are not."
"We can leave if you want," he whispered.
"What a tempting offer but no thank you," she responded.
"Why not? Going to keep staying here even though you'd rather be elsewhere."
"You're the only one with the idea that I am bored."
"How about a dance?" He asked.
Mauve jerked her head back so fast she cracked her neck. "Ow!" She cried.
"Why did you do that?" Jael asked with a chuckle.
She grabbed the side of her neck, gently massaging it in. "It wasn't on purpose."
