The music continued to play softly, making the atmosphere even more serene, Amelia felt how Dominic led their dance with movements that were controlled, yet gentle. His firm hands grasped her with a warmth she never expected.
"I have to admit," Amelia finally spoke, her eyes looking at Dominic quizzically. "I didn't expect you to come tonight with me."
Dominic smiled faintly with his trademark unpredictable expression. "I couldn't possibly miss an important moment like this especially if it's with you."
Amelia furrowed her brow. "Important moment? Because it's about business or ... something else?"
Dominic did not answer immediately. Instead, he tightened his grip on Amelia's hand and pulled her a little closer until their breaths almost came together.
"You already know the answer, Amelia," he murmured.
