no dance: encounter with Lydia
Atlas downed his second drink of the evening as he stared into the dancing crowd. He had just parted ways with his previous dance partner, a rather unexpected one. He was trying his best to make sense of everything that had just taken place. Out of everyone present tonight, he did not expect Aurelia to approach him. The last time they spoke, it was not pleasant; he could never figure out why, but he knew that he was not Aurelia’s favorite person. Atlas had always assumed that the reason was because she considered him to be unworthy of being with her sister Lydia. Every time Atlas would go looking for Lydia at the Eliis home, he would receive a cold welcome from Aurelia almost every time. He chose to ignore it every time, though; he knew that not even she could keep him away from his Lydia.
Yet tonight, it was as if he had stepped into an alternate universe. Aurelia was kind and charming, even asking him to dance with her. At first, he was hesitant to even accept, but he knew if he wanted to get her approval, even if she was faking her welcoming persona, Atlas would take any chance to get her acceptance in order to pursue Lydia further. He had never imagined Aurelia would try to charm him, though; it had to be a trick or a test to see if he truly was loyal to Lydia, he thought, yet Atlas could feel his heart sink as he heard Aurelia mention that Lydia had sent her to him, for them to get to know each other and see if they were compatible.
Atlas closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He wanted to believe it was not true. Was this Lydia’s way of telling him she was not interested in him? Of course, for all of these men here, she had probably found someone better. “Atlas!” His thoughts were finally interrupted as he heard the recognizable angelic voice that he always thought about before falling asleep. He opened his eyes to see Lydia standing in front of him, a warm smile on her face. “What are the odds of encountering you in this place?" Atlas was captivated by the warmth and depth of her brown eyes and could not help but linger on her gaze for a moment. How could he be upset when she was right in front of him, beaming happiness and joy? He gave her a little grin as he tried to hide his previous confusion and frustration. “It is as if the cosmos conspired to bring us together no matter where we are.” He joked back, and there was a short pause before he spoke again, “You look lovely tonight Lydia. I was starting to feel out of place but now that you’re here, everything feels right.” Atlas spoke softly to her as he briefly brought his hand close to hers. He was desperate to feel her touch, even for just a moment. “Are you enjoying yourself tonight?”
