"You look even better than yesterday," Erwin acknowledged as he pulled Theia's waist closer to his body. She smiled gently and carefully placed her hand on the shoulder of his amputated arm. With her right hand, she pulled up the purple dress above her ankles.

"You look good too father," she gazed into his warm blue eyes as he led her to the center of the floor with graceful, skillful steps. There he stopped and swayed with her in a slow rhythm in one place.

"Did you talk to Levi?" He asked and Theia sighed sadly.

"I didn't find him at home in the morning, he was probably working again," Erwin didn't answer her assumptions.

"Are you still mad at him?" He asked seriously and Theia looked down.

"Of course not. But I thought that he would be the one who would settle things between us."

"Do you think your relationship is getting cold?" Theia smiled and shook her head.

"Not at all. Levi... is the best man I could ever meet. No one has ever looked at me the way he looks at me. Full of love. I have never met a man who touched me with such tenderness. He is a sensitive, attentive, caring, empathetic man, even if it may not seem so at first sight. Every single day he shows me what I mean to him. From the first moment I had no choice but to fall in love with him. No matter what he does, I will never stop loving him," Erwin smiled at her sincere words.

"And you are an incredibly gorgeous, strong and loving woman. Levi is lucky to have you," Erwin pulled her by the hand and moved closer to her face. "Don't forget that your father will love you too, no matter what happens," he grabbed the surprised Theia by the fingers and pulled her to turn her around her own axis, when she stopped in a circle because she met a steely gaze.

"Levi," the smile fell from her face and her heart was beating so fast she felt like it wanted to leave her body. Confused, she turned her head to her father, who disappeared into the crowd with a smile, and looked again into the pale face of the man standing in front of her. He was wearing a tight black jacket, a white shirt, a tie and a handkerchief. His hair was neatly combed back and he smelled so good it made her dizzy.

"People are staring. Would you mind to dance?" He suggested in a serious voice that made her freeze.

"You don't dance," she protested as Levi walked up to her and reached around her waist to place a palm on her back, pulling her very gently to his body. He could clearly hear her sharp breathing and how she was trembling under his touch. "How long have you been standing here?" She asked as he first stepped to the side with his right foot, pulling her behind him.

"Long enough to hear everything," he replied calmly, returning his feet and speeding up his dance steps a little more boldly. A surprised Theia stuck her words in throat. She felt uneasy, she didn't know if she was talking to her husband at all. She had no idea where he learned to dance so well. "You are beautiful. So beautiful that I had to control myself not to fall on my ass. You know me...I...things like this...make me nervous," he whispered a little bit shyly, though his face wore a cold expression.

"You didn't have to force yourself to dance," she assured him as he turned around on the floor with her and continued with precise steps, gripping her hand tightly.

"But I had to. I need to apologize," Theia closed her eyes.

"No, I want to apologize, too. I should have waited longer for you,"

"I invited you for dinner on your birthday, I shouldn't have kept you waiting a minute longer. It's my fault," Theia looked over his shoulder at the ground. "Are you angry at me?" He asked and Theia gave a mocking smile.
