She asks him for a dance - and he has to refuse although he wants nothing more than dancing with her

“Querida, you know that I only dance with perpetual wallflowers, and even that only for the sake of your dear mamma. And you, my dear, cannot tell me that you’ve had a single free space on your dance card so far today.”

She pouted her lips. “I would have had one for you.”

A warm feeling spread in his chest. “Of course you would.”

“You could have made an exception… You could make it now for a fact.”

Ella stretched out her hand as if she were the man asking for a dance.

And in that moment, he realised how much he wanted to take the hand she offered him, pull her into his arms, dance with her, right here on the moonlit path, to the soft music coming from the house. It would be a dance far from all the etiquette and social stiffness that daunted him in a ballroom, and when they finished, he would pull her even closer, bury his fingers in her soft hair and kiss her.

“Is everything alright, Pedro?”

Nothing was alright.
