@redbraid sent ; ‘ would you like to dance? ’
if it had been anyone else who had uttered those words, anyone, eric would cordially and politely have to decline. he wasn't a dancer. it wasn't that he didn't know how, he'd been trained in the art from a young age. all a part of being raised a royal. on occasion, when he couldn't find a way out of the activity, he'd been told how good a dancer he was but he was never sure if the compliment was sincere or simply flattery, an attempt to gain his affection. even if he was skilled at it, that didn't mean he had to enjoy it. he usually did not.
but this wasn't just anyone. this was jessie. jessie. . . the woman he'd do absolutely anything for. eric would go to the ends of the earth for jessie if she so asked. even so, the offer makes his heart flutter. brings a faint pink tint to his cheeks.
❛ with you, ❜ a soft smile adorns his expression, ❛ i would be delighted to. ❜ his hand extends to take hers.
