His question took her by surprise. She didn't think he would know. It made her a little embarrassed. "Yes. My mom insisted on having another dance to find me a new husband." She sighs in frustration. The boy analyzes her expression, feeling his heart fluttering. She had lost the courage to try to invite himself to the ball when he noticed the sadness in his friend's eyes.
"Don't you like Balls? I thought you liked it... It always made me happy and excited when you used to tell me about the parties you attended when you was younger. And I always wondered if they were really fun..." He smiles gently, trying somehow to comfort her. The girl looks at him differently this time. For a second, he regrets what he said.
"Have you... never been to a Ball before?" She asks without believing that this could be true. The boy confirms her suspicion and she immediately takes an invitation out of the purse and hands it to him. "Here. You can go this time if you want." She smiles gently and the boy takes the invitation with his hands shaking with excitement and joy. He couldn't believe what was going on. She really had invited him!
The girl's mother returns shortly after she handed him the invitation and the two leave. Haruka tried to ignore and forget the boy's expression when she handed him the invitation. "I just hope he doesn't understand this in the wrong way..." She thinks to herself, but begins to imagine what it would be like if that happened.•
