Chapter 170
Elodie smiled at him. "Of course. I’d love to."
She put her hand in his, and Johnny led her onto the dance floor. His grip was warm, confident.
Harry watched them go, then turned to the girl waiting beside him and offered his hand. She took it, looking pleased.
The music swelled as Elodie and Johnny stepped into the crowd of dancers. And that’s when it happened... their eyes landed right on Dante and Sienna, who were just about to start dancing too.
For a split second, everyone was just looking at each other.
Elodie was about to glance away when she caught it. Dante’s mouth curved up slightly. Was that... did he just smile at her?
Her chest did this stupid little jump before her brain caught up.
She frowned, focusing harder. No. He wasn’t looking at her at all. The smile was aimed past her, at Sienna. Of course it was. He probably hadn’t even registered that Elodie was standing there.
She turned her attention back to Johnny and tried to focus on the steps. One, two, three. Left, right. Don’t think about it.
Around them, the dance floor was filling up fast. All the eligible bachelors like Rex, Jimmy, Levi and co were basically celebrity sightings at these things. Girls were already circling, hoping for a chance.
Rex looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. After his disaster of a conversation with Johnny, he’d planted himself near the edge of the room, eyes constantly drifting toward Sienna. He clearly had zero interest in dancing.
Jimmy looked equally thrilled about the whole thing, which is to say, not at all.
