Within the circle of his arms, she felt beautiful and feminine-two things she hadn’t felt in a very long time. She savored it as one does a piece of fine chocolate, reveling in the experience of floating around the floor, cradled firmly in his arms, her skirt swishing around their legs.
Somehow alone, even though she knew the entire populations of St. Blossom and Osaka High Schools were there with them. Lost in the circle of their own making, she was blind to the stir their dance caused among the others, deaf to the murmurs of admiration, of envy, of recognition (oh, so Sano and Ashiya are like that!). She simply enjoyed their dance together completely, never realizing any picture taken at that moment would be the portrait of young love.
