conversations.value:  “Is something the matter, Ms. Rae?” she asked. As she had said a while ago, she wasn’t interested in dancing, filling her plate with food instead.

conversations.value:  “Dancing with Joel. You wouldn’t think it of her, but she’s the type to get swept up by a crowd.” Lana laughed happily. Her easygoing nature was just what I needed after my exhausting encounter with Hilda.

conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  “Yeah, but I wasn’t really suited to it.”

conversations.value:  “I’d have liked to dance with you if I knew how to. Oh, why don’t we dance under the bedsheets tonight? That’s more up my alley.” Lana shimmied at me teasingly.

conversations.value:  “Ow!” Claire had taken a brief break from the dancing and appeared just in time to give Lana a quick chop to the shoulders.

conversations.value:  “I did. She asked me to dance, but I was a little tired, so I declined.”

conversations.value:  “Why not dance with her now?” I suggested. Even if Philine disliked me, our plan had a chance as long as she still liked Claire.

conversations.value:  “That would have the opposite effect, I’m afraid. She would think I had some ulterior motive if I asked her to dance after turning her down.”
