Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

At one point, I noticed people in the crowd shouting and waving their arms up at us. I waved back, which drew cheers from them. It was the positive reaction we had wanted, so this date was a success.

Alexander didn’t join in, despite my attempts to coax him into dancing, but he watched me with a look of mild amusement. I couldn’t really picture him dancing, anyway. It wasn’t that he seemed too serious or stiff; rather, I realized I’d never truly seen him relax–not to the extent that dancing would require.
