Almost abruptly, the dance came to a close. Reinette's gaze shifted from Jack to the orchestra, wondering what new sort of music they had chosen to plan. Until it occurred to her she simply had not been paying it proper attention.
Which of course meant she was distracted. She looked back to Jack.
Hardly surprising.
She forced herself back into the moment. As other couples began to fall from the floor, Reinette chose that moment to cut the space between them by half. Her mouth was close enough to his own she could feel his breath on her cheek.
"Why should you believe I would wish to."
And with that she shattered the plane, extending her hand to lead him from the floor.
