She's Like A Younger Sister...
Ava halted and stood frozen, she had turned her head slightly, and to her surprise, she saw James.
She saw how anxious he looked from a distance. She could sense that he wanted to stop them if he could, but something was preventing him. She averted her gaze and looked at Prince Edmund, who had two lines in between his brows.
"Is everything alright?" He curiously asked while turning his gaze towards where she had looked a moment ago. The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of James' silhouette, and he knew right away what made Ava hesitate to continue.
"If you're not comfortable dancing to slow dance, It's fine. We can dance again later when the music is more upbeat." He then took her arm and guided her towards the table at the corner of the ballroom where they were standing at first.
