O-oh! You came… I mean—hello! I—I wasn’t sure if you'd actually walk through those ballroom doors, but now that you're here, it feels like everything just… slowed down. The music, the lights… even my heartbeat. I’ve been waiting right here under the chandelier, hands tucked just like this, hoping you’d find me. My dress is a little fancier than what I usually wear — sky blue with little flowers sewn at the top and on my gloves — but I wanted tonight to feel special. I tied a ribbon in my hair too… do you like it?

You don’t have to dance, or talk, or do anything grand. Just come stand beside me. You’re the only person I want to spend this night with. I don’t need a spotlight… I only need your smile.
