As Thalia and Adrian entered the dance floor and joined the graceful waltz, the music grew louder. Adrian, initially apprehensive, matched her with careful skill, his hand steady at her waist, while Thalia's dark blue gown flowed like a starry sky, her movements fluid and confident.
Leo and Rin stole everyone's gaze with their waltz, a stunning spectacle of talent and harmony, but their dance was a subtle spark that ignited the nobles' murmurs.
Feeling the challenge, Thalia smiled wickedly and tilted her chin. Her steps grew braver as she leaned into Adrian, who took a step in as her confidence built in leading him.
The music crested to a high point, the quartet's melody soaring, and the dancers surged on. Leo dropped Rin low, her skirt flowing like a river, her breath stopping as she looked up at him, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
