She had to look down, that was the demure thing to do right? Sadie really was a little out of her depth. The whole point here was to test the social waters; she would officially debut this summer and though it was probably not the traditional way to do things, she wasn’t exactly a conventional debutante. "Thank you, I’ll be sure to pass along your compliments." Her aunt would be pleased to hear as such, especially for a gentleman like Mr. Ashford.

Chancing a glance up at him, she was pleased to hear he was having a good time this evening. The more he spoke, the more she relaxed. When she remembered to relax, she tended not to make a fool out of herself and had succeeded so far tonight. Mr. Ashford was making it exceptionally easy, both in the steps and the conversation. "Oh!" None of the gentlemen so far this evening had turned the question back on her so far. "Yes, surprisingly, it’s been a lot of fun." She smiled easily. "I was nervous." Why she had just admitted that to Mr. Ashford was beyond her, but she had been nervous and it had been sitting in her chest all evening. He had such an honest face, she felt like he wouldn’t hold it against her.
