Just about 20 minutes earlier Iris had gone out back to smoke and gather her chaotic thoughts. She could think of nothing but his pretty face, soft touch, his adorable dimples when he smiled, his laugh, his silky thick curls and his electric soul. She took a few more drags of her cigarette and sighed. She just wanted him to materialize in front of her.

There were men eyeing her and she hated it, so she went inside, ordered another shot and headed to where the music was playing. "I started a Joke" by, The Bee Gees was playing and Iris saw people dancing and most of them were couples.

She felt tears burn, her already blood shot eyes, but she fought them and danced to the music....alone. She moved her body, elegantly, to the song and the lyrics made her even more depressed. They reminded her of him...

As Iris twirled and felt the music inflate her heart, she felt as though she was back on that dark stage, but now she was completely alone. She could not find her love, her heart, her reason for living, anywhere. She moved her hips and raised her hands above her head, her palms on the sides of her head as she danced. Her hands slowly moved down and hugged every curve of her body as she lowered her head. Her eyes now shut tightly. Tears sparkled as they fell from her closed eyes and she could feel the loneliness begin to swallow her, but she just kept dancing.

"Arthur...", she murmured.

She wanted him, all of him...both uniquely beautiful sides of him...
