Jeremy couldn't figure out why he was so anxious and fidgety. This was just a party, it's not like he was nervous about having all these people here, crowds didn't make him anxious, they just made him uncomfortable, they were needlessly loud. People often expected for conversation to be reciprocated, which wasn't something he cared to entertain. He felt most of these people and their lives were to mundane to talk about, and none of them would have topics of interest for him to want to engage in a conversation with him.
But Rosa… She was interesting to talk with. He could talk about a lot of things with Rosa, like they loved linguistics. She was a musician, though she only practiced in private, she played the Violin. She had a love of music and though she learned the classics through her lessons, she did… more… She made it sing.
