Cassian found himself pleasantly surprised by the lady he was dancing with during the opening dance of the ball. Lady Phoebe had an infectious energy about her, and her name, Phoebe, felt like a sweet refrain on his lips.
“Lady Phoebe,” he said, savoring the way her name rolled off his tongue. “I must admit, I’m quite fortunate to have you as my partner for the first dance of this ball. Your presence has added a certain radiance to this evening that I hadn’t anticipated.”
As they gracefully moved across the dance floor, Cassian was acutely aware of the fleeting nature of this encounter. The ball was filled with swirling gowns and dapper gentlemen, and their time together was but a brief moment in the grand scheme of the night.
Cassian couldn’t help but be captivated by the mystery he saw in Phoebe’s eyes. Her curiosity about his adventures piqued his interest, and he decided to engage in a bit of playful banter, knowing that their interaction would soon come to an end.
“Ah, the allure of the unknown,” he mused, his eyes locked onto hers. “Perhaps, in the future, we might have the opportunity to delve deeper into these uncharted territories. Until then, my lady, I shall cherish this dance as a fortunate start to our acquaintance.”
With a courteous bow, Cassian released Phoebe as the dance came to an end. The ball was just beginning, and he couldn’t help but wonder what other encounters and occurrences the evening might hold.
