Peter laughed, louder than their private conversation, then lowered his voice once again.  "Well, surely you weren't expecting a gentleman.  Don't worry though; I won't let you end up flat on your back... Not here, anyway," he said with a lopsided smile, and the music came to a close.  "Well, that was a lot of fun, Carly."  He didn't move his hand, and his other withdrew from her grasp to rest at the small of her back.  "I believe it's still early... Would you like another drink?"  His eyes were transfixed, unflinching as he gazed at her in open fascination.
