As the night continued on, it seemed like the smile on Ariel’s face simply refused to leave. Much to her amusement, the night was filled with drinks and dancing, and she had to applaud herself for making sure she got more than just one dance out of her date that night. Jack was the perfect date: warm, endearing, and dedicated to making sure they both had a good time. She was twirling around the dance floor when he disappeared into the crowd, a slower song beginning to play through the speakers. She finally caught sight of him speaking to a pretty girl by the drinks table, tilting her head slightly. She didn’t particularly mind — maybe it was time for her to catch up with her own friends. Ariel nearly finished her walk around the room when she spotted a girl sitting alone at one of the tables. “Hey, mind if I sit?” she whispered, approaching her with a friendly smile. “Or is this seat taken by your date?”
