Arthur and Juliana started dancing, so the others naturally followed suit.

Typically, a man with a sense of chivalry would be the one to invite the lady to dance. However, Theodore was a little senseless when it came to romance.

Annabella had never been one for coy gestures, so she straightforwardly walked up to Theodore and said, "Prince Theodore, are you going to ask me to dance?"
