"I was wondering if you wanted to dance?" Eric flipped the extension chord in his hands with a little smile.
Mateo melted, smiling back at him. He looked down after a moment and nodded, "I'd love to. Thank you."
Eric nodded, starting to take the extension chord out of it's packaging.
"I'm gonna go join the party. Meet me out there, guys." Cheyenne scooted around Eric, leaving them alone.
Mateo watched her go before he looked back at Eric, "I thought you weren't coming back."
Eric looked up for a second to meet his eyes, "I tried to text you. I heard you say your phone died when I got back. It took longer than I expected... I should have come let you know what I was doing."
Mateo nodded, "It's not a big deal. I really appreciate this. I've gotta be honest, if I were in your shoes I don't know if I'd come back. I wouldn't have blamed you if you would've just left."
Eric got it unrolled to the point where he could plug it into the wall and plug Mateo into it, "Well, I really like you. This is all something you have to deal with. I don't want you to have to deal with it alone."
Mateo smiled, helping him plug the ankle monitor in, "Well thank you. Seriously. Let's go dance."
Eric nodded, standing back up, "Yeah."
