Chapitre 139: The Vampire Assassin [3]

"It has been more than one dance. When are you planning to let go of me?"

"After this song, I think."

"You think?"

"It's a nice song they're playing."

"...Yeah, I guess."

As I looked around the Victorian-themed banquet hall, my senses were immediately captured by the soft glow of lights and the sweet melodies of jazz music wafting through the air.

The sound emanated from a band playing at the front of the hall, providing the perfect soundtrack for the evening's festivities.

I observed as people moved about, some chatting and socializing with drinks in hand while others swayed to the rhythm of the music. 

Couples held each other close, lost in the moment as they danced in slow, romantic circles. 

It was a beautiful sight. 

A perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day revelry.

Not long after, my eyes were drawn back to the girl in my arms, her waist nestled snugly against me.
