Nadine had forgotten how it felt like to be stared at by a man. It was flattering, but she always felt a bit guilty for enjoying any sort of attention, considering she was married to Arthur. He was very sweet with her, but there were many… problems that they were trying to get past. It was the cost she had to pay for being with a wonderful person like him.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I saw you dancing, you were… amazing.</span><br/><br/>She blinked her eyes, suddenly feeling a bit dizzy. Luckily for her, the feeling passed quickly. He seemed quiet for the longest time and stared at her as if she was an apparition from another world. Part of it seemed admiration, but she couldn’t ignore the horror and shock on his face either. She really didn’t understand what was going on or why he was gazing at her with such wild eyes. Nadine began feeling a bit uncomfortable under his stare and looked down, only to see Cissi sniffing the man’s clothing with strange intrigue. Normally the dog could hardly keep still and would just jump on people or run around them, but now she was completely calm and extremely fascinated by the smell of the man’s clothes.<br/><br/>Then he spoke, calling her ‘Nadia’, which completely confused her and caused her to give him a rather strange look. Was he in his right mind? He didn’t smell of alcohol and didn’t seem like a drug addict. Still, his behaviour was so utterly bizarre that it made her take a few steps back, as if afraid that he would try to do something to her. Suddenly he asked her where she had been and started hyperventilating with a tear rolling down his face. Nadine was completely frozen still, unsure of what to do or what in the world was going on. She managed to move when seeing him stumble slightly, and so she grabbed him by his arm and helped him to a nearby bench.<br/><br/>What in the world was happening?<br/><br/>“Are you alright?” She asked cautiously and crouched in front of the man in order to see his face clearly. “Are you hurt? Please, tell me!” Several bystanders were now gathering behind her, asking if everything was alright and if they needed to call an ambulance. Nadine took the man’s hand in hers to check for his pulse, scared that she or her dog had just done something to trigger some sort of an illness in him. Judging from the way he was breathing, he wasn’t getting enough oxygen and she asked one of the bystanders to eventually call for an ambulance. Maybe he had asthma? Oh god, if she had somehow hurt this man…<br/><br/>Speaking of being hurt, she herself was suddenly coming down with a massive migraine. Nadine tried to push it to the back of her head since this man’s health was the priority now and not hers. She reached to lift his head so she could inspect his eyes just in case and make sure he wouldn’t pass out on her.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I think I saw you in the audience.</span>
