The floor wasn't big, but it was enough for a couple of people to dance freely. The crowd parted naturally as they joined, and Mara immediately swayed to the soft rhythm of the song. Her eyes were half-opened as her head gently bobbed to the beat.
She didn't go all out. She just moved her hips, with her arms loose. She was smiling up at him like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Gray stood awkwardly at first.
Then shifted a little.
Then… swayed.
Not too much.
But enough.
Mara noticed and let out a pleased sound.
"See? Look at that. You can dance!"
He laughed under his breath.
"I'm barely dancing, stupid."
But it was easier than he expected. Maybe it was because the alcohol helped with it, so did Mara's carefree vibe. She didn't pressure him or make it weird. She just danced, and somehow, that made it easy to follow.
