Arriving at the venue, Geoffrey excused himself to handle the registration. When he came back, he already had the dance cards with him and handed Serena hers.
"Shall we start plotting our dance cards now?" Geoffrey asked.
Serena looked through the programme and saw that there were 16 dances excluding the opening dance at the beginning of the ball and another after the intermission. Mindful of Geoffrey becoming suspicious of her relationship with Charlton, she decided to let Geoffrey have control of her dance card.
"Better yet, just like before, you can handle my card for me." She replied as she handed her card back to him.
Geoffrey smiled as he nodded his head and received her card. "Okay."

Geoffrey and Serena were announced and together, they entered the hall. There were not a lot of people inside yet as all the senior students would enter later after everyone else has been announced.
