章 544: 544. Dance with me

Mauve sat on Jael's legs as she watched Seraphino bow to Jael before he walked away. The smirk on his face made her feel a little nauseous or that might be the wine, it was hard to tell.

The party wasn't proceeding as fast as she thought it would and time dragged on like a toddler learning to walk.

"You look bored," Jael said.

"No, I don't. Besides, you can't can't even see my face," she responded.

"But your sighs are loud."

"No, they are not."

"We can leave if you want," he whispered.

"What a tempting offer but no thank you," she responded.

"Why not? Going to keep staying here even though you'd rather be elsewhere."

"You're the only one with the idea that I am bored."

"How about a dance?" He asked.

Mauve jerked her head back so fast she cracked her neck. "Ow!" She cried.

"Why did you do that?" Jael asked with a chuckle.

She grabbed the side of her neck, gently massaging it in. "It wasn't on purpose."
