But the war, it... "<br/><br/>Cedric shook his head. He smiled at Samantha and went on,<br/><br/>"If I become her protector, I am sure it will be well known that I am her lover. Her father already thinks so"<br/><br/>They spun around to the music before returning to where Kate sat. Cedric stepped behind her and set his hands on her shoulders and caressed her gently. He leaned to her ear and said,<br/><br/>"You have some interesting friends my love."<br/><br/>He then took her hand when the next song started, and led her to the dance floor, and slid his arm around her waist as the fingers of his other hand entwined with hers, and the moved and swayed slowly to the mello music.</span>
