Elliot came to stand in front of Isabella, mischievous grin twitching at his lips as she rolled her eyes at the pure cheesiness of the situation. But she couldn't help the small smile that erupted from her features even if she tried. It was the sort of reluctant smile that made her wonder if smiling always felt this good. Which, in all honesty, it probably did. She only felt this way because it was Elliot. And, for some reason, when he was the one to make her smile. It was different. Because the rest of her body was smiling with her lips.

She had known from the moment that Reach For The Stars started playing that Elliot had been the one to request the song. It was the kind of song that belonged to her heart now, because of all the memories that it held. It held images of Elliot's face and all the ridiculous things they had gone through in order to cheer each other up.

Elliot bowed before her with the same grin, offering his hand out with a wink as the music blasted out across the room, the darkness and flashing lights somehow making his face all the more charming. "Can I have this dance?"

Isabella laughed, heart beating so fast in her chest that the only words that could escape her lips were as pathetic as the blush staining her cheeks. "I don't know, can you?"

Elliot looked up at the ceiling as if praying to God for strength before grabbing her hand and yanking her up in a way that left her pressed against his chest. And. Oh my god. He was still smiling. "I don't know. Can I?"

"Can you?"

He started to move her to the beat a bit, grabbing her hands and moving them back and forth as he shimmied to the beat, leaning towards and away from Isabella as she slowly managed to find her feet and dance along with him. At some point, without any warning whatsoever, he dipped her down to the ground. Hovering above her with the same goddamn grin that just made her want to slap him for being so darn cute. "You know what, Isabella? I think I can."
