"Nina! Enzo!"

My brother's voice carried across the garden, breaking Enzo and I out of our reverie. We both lifted our heads and turned around to see Tyler standing in the doorway, waving excitedly with a grin on his face.

"What is it, Ty?" I called out, charmed by his enthusiasm.

"They're starting the group dance!" he called back. "You have to get in here. We're waiting for you!"

Exchanging wary glances, Enzo and I stood and headed back to the ballroom. Enzo's hand lingered on the small of my back, filling my body with an electric tingle and filling my mind with fantasies about what would happen in our bedroom later. But for now, it was time to dance.

"There you are!" my mother said as we returned. "It's time to dance. And cut cake!*

"Cake?" I said, glancing behind her, where a few servants were wheeling out a cart with a large, multi-tiered cake on it. "Geez, mom. Why didn't you tell me?"

My mother grinned. "I wanted it to be a surprise. It's vanilla, your favorite."

Her words made me smile, and Enzo, too.

We shared a look, both amused and resigned after a long evening. "It sounds delicious," I said, even though I was still full from snacking on hors d'oeuvres all evening. "Dance first, then cake."
