Sentence included? Y/N: Yes
I stood on the balcony looking out over the city. I liked it outside, it was quiet, peaceful. And I was away from the droning speeches and applause. It was all false anyway and there was only so much forced smiling my face could take.
Somewhere below, musicians begin to play. I feel dread race through me, music meant dancing which meant I’d have to think of ways to say no to those who asked me or grin and bear it as they held my hand and touched my hip. Just the thought of it repulsed me and I knew I couldn’t do that. Why did I come? Oh, of course. Damn. I take a deep breath before stepping from my safe haven to descend once more into the lions pit.
