Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0138

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.

Still, the way he watched me, with a small smile tugging at his lips, made my heart flutter more than I cared to admit.

By the time the concert ended, I was nearly breathless, a ridiculous smile spread across my face that I couldn’t shake off. I hadn’t had that much fun in a long time, and it was only then that I realized just how much I’d needed to let loose.

“Well, that was certainly worth the price of admission,” Alexander joked. “I thought you said you’d never heard of this band before.”

“I haven’t,” I replied, still grinning. “I just think they’re really good.”

“It’s not the kind of music I’d usually go out of my way to listen to,” he admitted. “But I can see why you like it. Shall we get going? We don’t want to get caught in the after–show traffic, and it’s going to take a while for that crowd to file out through the front doors.”
