You've never loved parties enough to be around people all evening. But you had to go to them when your brother and sister dragged you along. Being at one of those parties at the manor of your neighbours. You knew that Mr. Lawrence had a grandson, Theodore or Laurie, and he was quite a nice man as rumours told, although sometimes arrogant. But you never communicated with him, even though you were neighbors.

You didn't want to talk with a pompous guests, especially since you tore the hem of your dress and your sister told you to be careful with dancing. You ran from party to library Walking and choosing any book, you noticed a man and shuddered. The young man who also noticed you and was surprised, not expecting to see a person here during the party — Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you.—the guy said in a deep voice, smiling, — I'm Theodore Laurence, and you...?

You introduced yourself and a dialogue started between you. Laurie was really interesting, so you find a lot in common. He didn't like parties and noise either, so he ran away here too

— Do you want to dance? Right here.—Laurie asked, looking at you with a bit charmed face. — I don't think I can...promise you won't tell anyone.—you said, Laurie smiled harder, nodding,— I tore the hem of my dress. My sister told me not to dance. You can laugh, it's funny.… He grinned, but didn't laugh

— You know, I have an idea.—Laurie got up from the sofa, holding out his hand to you,— Let's go to the garden, I’ll show you.

So you went outside. Music could be heard there. As you started dancing, that was quite awkward. But soon.. Trying not to catch anyone's eye, you sometimes looked back at the windows, walking in a dance. You laughed, the slightly inept waltz was turning to crazy dance that is not typical for your society. You held hands and jumped, enjoying each other's company. That was romantic..

— Well, was that a good idea?—Laurie asked flirtatious, when you switched to the waltz again
