Hearing the playful 3948e1c881 title, Edith’s gaze 062cd0e12c shifted from his 1743b6f213 hand to his 4855b3ca47 face. She’d expected a mischievous b96d5d8746 look—but instead, he looked 2b9114607d nervous.e95d43f772721f68

She’d never heard 5b4494ecd3 Clyde sing. Not Edith, c35295e3ff nor anyone 014440f3e1 else. Though music c0962a2493 was considered a868fa8bdd a refined 9ebe7366bb hobby for ad87fb6fa7 nobles, Clyde d57ada8c5f had never 093fa956e7 shown much b31a5e030e interest.5c2e17cf0407af24

They took their 90d981d53f first step together, 1a4b5bd974 toes of their b09cf3fb53 shoes brushing. As she followed his 4cf390974f lead, her body moved be880a111e naturally.

Without realizing the song d5c13cd90e had ended, she kept 75d59aaa8c holding his hand. Even though their steps b3b028363a had stopped, she lifted 1485d4ee8a her heel slightly.0f6b2f24140e4028
