When the first slow song of the night came on, Keeley placed one hand in Jeffrey's and the other on his shoulder and they somewhat awkwardly stepped in a tiny circle.
Many other student pairs were doing the exact same thing, though some of the higher society students performed complicated waltzes they had learned from private tutors. In her first life, Aaron made her take classes so she wouldn't embarrass him at important events so she was fairly good at it.
Those skills were wasted on Jeffrey but she didn't care about that. She would much rather dance normally with a friend than artistically with a snob.
A minute into the song, Keeley found herself being pulled away by somebody else. Jeffrey's protest was halfway out of his mouth when he realized who it was and shut up.
"You don't mind if I cut in, do you," he stated rather than asked.
Jeffrey nodded mutely. Traitor! Handing her over just like that!
