“This is basic,” I replied, speeding my footith the music

Both of us glanced around to see the whole floor had been cleared, and now everyone stood on the outside, even Nathaniel and Stephanie

“Hoe escape?” she whispered, nodding to them

“Just keep walking,” I replied, helping her off the dance floor

We didn’t go back to the table, instead ending up walking until ere out the double doors and in theon to me, she stepped out of her shoes

Why did I care? “I won’t be waiting”
