“Marie, are you waiting for somebody?” Stephen inquired. “Yes.” “And may I ask who is it?” “I am waiting for you.” Stephen stared blankly at her. Sebastian paled as he heard it.

“As you may know, the governess wanted to practice dancing.” Stephen breathed deeply and Sebastian too. “You are my dance partner, Stephen, so I waited for you to practice.” “Oh yes, of course. How long did you wait?” “About an hour.” “An hour?” “Yes. I want to escape Latin classes for today.” Stephen laughed at her and remarked, “You are clever and sneaky.” “Thank you.” Marie replied.

“Sebastian, would you like to come with us?” Stephen asked. “If Marie wouldn’t mind.” “Oh no, I don’t.” Marie smiled sweetly. Marie is not in the mood to tease the Prince. He seemed very pleasing this afternoon. Marie led Stephen and Sebastian to the dance hall.

Marie and Stephen went directly to the hall while Sebastian took a seat and watched them dance the waltz. Sebastian admired his cousin’s refinement but what he adored most is the grace of the lady he is dancing with. Marie. The way she moved is very fine, and her hips sway smoothly the way Stephen guides her.

After their dance, the two of them laughed and talked. Marie’s governess motioned towards her and talked to the two them. They were giggling, and talking when the governess spoke to them. Sebastian felt out of place, thus, he decided to leave.

“Sebastian.” Stephen summoned. Sebastian halted and faced them. “Would you like to dance with me?” Marie asked. Sebastian felt an intense sensation all over his body. His blood is racing through his veins, and his heart is beats so fast. Sebastian breathed deeply and approached Marie to take her hand. He bowed to her and offered his hand. Marie gladly accepted it and Sebastian took her right hand and placed it on the shoulder, while his left hand is in her waist.

The music started. The Prince and the heir Duchess danced gracefully. Sebastian has this elegance in his movement, while Marie has the poise of a lady. As Stephen watched the two of them dancing, he saw how perfect they are and how good they look if they were together. Stephen observed them closely and appreciating every movement the two make.

Sebastian stared directly at Marie’s eyes which are shining brightly. Sebastian felt the perfect symmetry of their bodies and it is as if they actually made for each other. Marie, on the other hand, felt the sparks while they were dancing. Her eyes looked intently at his saxe blue eyes and saw how magnificent the gray tint on it. Marie followed every step the Prince is making, and trusting him. She never realized that the music ended until the Prince halted.

The governess motioned towards them and complimented their dance. The governess said it was perfect and it seems that they always dance. “This is yet our first dance.” Marie said. “Is that true?” “Yes.” Sebastian replied. “It was perfect!” The governess exclaimed and said that her lessons are off already. Then, her governess left the dance hall leaving the three of them alone.

“It was magnificent.” Stephen complimented. “Thank you.” Marie replied shyly. She turned to the Prince, and smiled. “Thank you. Because of our dance, I do not need to attend lessons today.” Marie said. “It is always a pleasure.” Sebastian replied and smiled.

The three of them went back to their own bedchambers, and rested before supper.
