Miriam looks over at Joseph at the piano. He's staring at the pair and waiting patiently to see if the next piece he plays will be for dancing.
Miriam: Oh, you can't be serious, sir!
Florian is smirking but looks determined.
Florian: I'm deadly serious. We were robbed of the one thing we both truly desired out of that loathsome night.
A silly looking shot of the couple. Miriam looks anxious while Florian smiles a big grin with his hand still held out to her, undeterred.
Miriam: But I... I just had three tea cakes!
Florian: Energy for the dance!
Miriam looks away dejectedly. Florian lowers his hand.
Miriam: P-Please don't ask this of me... I did desire to at the party but I've honestly never danced outside of practice at home. I fear I'll... embarrass myself.
Florian pulls his hand back to himself to gesture.
Florian: You won't even do it out of spite?
Miriam smiles but looks confused.
Miriam: ...Haha, what?
Florian gives Miriam a more devilish grin, raising an eyebrow.
Florian: You know how they'd detest the idea of our dancing together, in private, without the need of their approval. Doesn't the thought of that make you feel a little... triumphant?
