บท 104: The Float Parade

Selma Payne's POV:

After she left, the crowd dispersed and gathered around the boxing ring again to cheer for the fighters.

Avril let go of Perrin and said shyly, "I'm sorry. You know that there are some grudges between Carolyn and me. So... I'm really sorry. I was too impulsive and shouldn't have done that. Thank you for giving me a way out."

Perrin grabbed her hand and whispered, "No, I'm serious about what I said just now. I don't have a dance partner yet, because... Because I wanted to ask you. Avril, do you really want to dance the opening dance with me?"

"What?" Avril stuttered in panic, "I… I… oh, I don't know how to say it, but... Yes, I will, Perrin. I will be your dance partner."

We cheered for them.

After the cheers, Mara said bitterly, "It seems like someone has forgotten something."

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mara. I forgot about you... " said Avril, looking at her apologetically.
