Oliver Hoffman looked at the silver mask in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
At that moment, the lights in the banquet hall outside dimmed, followed by Mr. Tawil's speech, roughly expressing his gratitude for everyone's presence. Helen Blair told Oliver that it would be their turn to perform after Mr. Tawil's speech.
The two of them put on their masks.
They looked at each other, their eyes glistening through the gaps in the masks. They smiled, finding it amusing.
Then, the famous tango melody "One Step Away" began to play slowly.
Their expressions turned serious in an instant. Oliver's hand held her waist, clasping her hand as their bodies pressed together.
"Thank you," Helen lifted her head to look at him, speaking sincerely. Her eyes sparkled, shimmering like mysterious and beautiful black gemstones through the gaps in the mask.
Oliver smiled faintly, his heart softening in that very moment.
