Chapter 250: Scale

After the music, the dance room suddenly quieted down, in the dim light, two people lightly catching their breath.

At the conclusion of the dance, Oliver Hoffman's hands rested on her waist, while Helen Blair's hands laid on his shoulder, their bodies pressed tightly together.

The silence following the music seemed to possess a peculiar power, silently cleansing the soul.

A moment of blankness occupied Helen Blair's mind.

"Helen..." Oliver Hoffman's voice suddenly shattered the tranquillity, perhaps as a result of just finishing a song, his voice was slightly hoarse, but in this silent space, it was particularly heart-wrenching, "You danced beautifully just now."

He held her tightly, reluctant to let go. Her body was soft and warm, emanating a faint fragrance that made him uncontrollably intoxicated. He suddenly wished that time would stop forever at this moment so he could hold her till the end of time.
