章 241: Alone (1) 

Annalise had to give compliments to the women in the room for dancing all night long in uncomfortable shoes. Annalise occasionally lifted one foot to ease the pain of standing around for hours. 

Beatrice and River didn't dance since Annalise had met with them again. River was not fond of dancing or as Beatrice whispered to Annalise, he was worried that he was not good at it even though he had long learned to do it to impress Beatrice. 

Beatrice was approached by a lot of women during the night with some asking about Annalise, but Beatrice would be quick to talk about something else to avoid revealing that Annalise was a maid.  Annalise didn't mind if it was revealed that she wasn't a relative of the Callahans or anyone important since it would stop the fools from approaching her for a dance.

It was like there was a contest among men to see who she would accept for a dance after sending five away. A game of who was her type of man.
