The moment Elara crashed into the person, the familiar scent hit her senses immediately and her lips pursed tightly in recognition. When she looked up, her eyes met Adrian's instantly.
He was staring down at her with that same unreadable expression, his hand still firmly wrapped around her waist. Because he had pulled her out of the dance rotation so suddenly, her body was almost pressed completely against his.
Carris stared at them for a long quiet second but he did not say anything. He simply looked away and continued dancing with his new partner.
"Are you insane?" Elara whispered sharply trying to move away a little from his tight hold. "What are you doing?"
"Dancing," Adrian replied flatly, his eyes never leaving hers.
The corner of Elara's lips twitched strangely into something between a sneer and a frown at his answer. She honestly did not know whether to laugh or cry.
