Tonight was wonderful. Eamonn took me dancing, at which he is very good (though I suspect he would not have taken me dancing if he weren't good at it). I wonder if he noticed all the envious looks? I know most of the women there (and a few men) were wishing their partners were half so skilled.

"As I've said, my lady. You are quite skilled, yourself."

[vicioussweetie]

"Thank you darling."

[cat_and_mice]

"I hope that you enjoy yourself at dinner. Aya was the young lady at the reception, correct?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Yes, the one I was dancing with. I'm sure we'll enjoy ourselves, we always do manage to somehow."

[dream_departed]

"As I said before, you only need to bring yourself."

[vicioussweetie]

"That's what makes presents so fun, Aya."

"You're much too generous. I invited you to dinner to thank you for all the wonderful things you have done for me already, and because I enjoy your company. I don't want to be the kind of friend who always takes things without giving anything back."

[vicioussweetie]

"You aren't, don't worry."
