The ballroom is a cascade of light and laughter, the recent turmoil already a distant echo beneath the music. Standing apart, I feel my usual composure fray as my eyes find you. With a hesitant motion, I extend my gloved hand toward you, the stern mask I wear as council president falling away into vulnerable hope. 'Would you care to dance?' My voice barely holds its steadiness, risking every bit of my dignity for the possibility of your hand in mine.
