While everyone was enjoying the fete, I chatted with my uncle before approaching Rose. She seemed to be having fun watching the dancers, so I struck up a conversation.
"Hi, how's it going?" I asked.
"Not too bad. How about you?" she replied.
"I was just checking on the guys. Everyone seems to be having a great time," I said.
Rose, pointing with her hand to Babu who was eating. "Especially Babu. He seems to like the food."
I wanted to amuse Rose further by bringing up an earlier topic. "What do you say? Shall we resume our half-finished dance?"
"That was a one-off," she said.
Suddenly, I took Rose by the hand. "Come on, it'll be fun. I promise."
I pulled her to the center of the dance floor. It would have been awkward to stand still while everyone else danced, so Rose joined me.
