A the ball

Jo's pov

I spotted a room with a curtain. I thought maybe I could sit alone with my thoughts. I felt the fire even from afar. Their was a boy sitting on a small sofa. "Oh hello." I said wearily. "Would you like me to leave.""Of course not he said politely, I enjoy company, Ms.?" "Oh I'm jo" I said frazzled. "I'm lauri, why aren't you dancing?" "Oh I scorched my dress and I can't dance." "I have an idea." We danced on the porch careful to walk by the windows. Lauri had such an awakening rich personality. We were dancing with no music. I started laughing and my ribs became weak. Lauri was a joy to have around, I was amused by his presence.
