We stared at each other for what seemed like moments, none of us making a move towards each other, the lights in the hall dimmed as it was all about dancing now and the platform emptied, awaiting I and Nicklaus to take the dance floor. I was hesitant, my heart slamming loudly in my chest, I didn't know what move to make or what to say.
And then Nicklaus brought his hand for me to take. My gaze fell on them, he was asking me to dance with him.
"Please take my hand", at his sonorous voice I raised my gaze and met his emerald orbs, his eyes pleading for me to take it, my eyes saddened.
'Do not blame Nicklaus for the way he acts, he is scared and also confused, the beast recognized you as his mate, but years without you has made it unstable... So what should you do?'
'You provide solitude, one which you did the first, not stir it with desires... but with the heart and mind... then desires can come to it, a circle, not a one-stop'
