Gus flashed her an all-teeth smile as he tilted his head back and laughed. “Next time I’ll be sure to ask on a Monday afternoon,” he said, allowing his hand to fall back to his side. He shook his head as he laughed quietly, fiddling with the ring that was still snug against his finger “I will take you up on that offer.”
He hadn’t the slightest idea of how many balls he’d go to, but he supposed Fig would drag him to at least a few, and he’d go to some mostly to hang out with his friends. He had ten years of making up to do, and there was no better place to reacquaint himself with people than a ball; after all, they couldn’t make a scene with so many eyes around them, and there was always a topic of interest when it came to some people who attended.
Plucking the ring from his finger, Gus offered Twycross a small and a nod. “It was a pleasure to see you again, Miss Twycross. I’ll owl you so we can set up a time to meet, so you can work your matchmaker magic.” His smile widened a bit. He wanted to add a bit of whisking her away from people she didn’t want to dance with if she needed it, but he wasn’t a knight of shining armor. Instead he wrapped his fingers around the ring. This would be a fine present.
