Praying had never done him much good, but maybe she usually had better luck than him. Anyway. And it would look worse than it would probably be, getting stuck together again after this – but as a side effect, at least he wouldn’t have to have the same three conversations again and again with anyone else?
“Worst comes to worst, we’ll just have to start stumbling around the ballroom with our eyes shut,” Theo joked, though obviously that wasn’t a real tactic worth trying. At least while they were dancing it was easy enough not to catch anyone else’s eye; the overly-decorated ballroom was just a vague turning blur of pink and red and people around them.
And if the weather was out-of-bounds until dance five, he would have to continue to be flippant now. “Do you think anyone actually enjoys Valentine’s Day?” Theo said in an undertone – or at least, he had meant to be flippant. There might have been a slightly bitter grimace under it. As far as holidays went – and he knew, he knew, he was begrudging about most of them – Theo was coming to the conclusion that Valentine’s must be one of the worst. Imagine finding this romantic and fun.
