A very content and smiling Jennifer was carried back down to the warmth of the party, placed very carefully on the dance floor and even more carefully released, keeping the petals of her skirts in place. Charles then folded her in his arms and danced with her as he looked for Dani.
Her head on his shoulder, she was dancing with their celebrity guest. Charles caught her eye and raised his. Dani smiled in recognition. She had guessed right and had asked Charles to invite Jennifer. More gently, had been her instructions to him.
A half hour later, as the couples passed, Dani slid into Charles' arms, slipping Jennifer neatly into her partner's. Only then, for Charles, did the penny drop.
