He spent the rest of his evening in Lucy's company. She behaved quite pleasing for normal social standards. They danced. Dane flirted. He brushed her exquisite braid behind her shoulder. He pulled the strap of her dress higher when it slumped. He straightened her necklace. He jingled her earrings playfully. Then of course, Dane's smile was intense.
His two Mexican brothers remained closeby, but Dane ignored them for the most part. Until at some point in the night when he was flagged by one of them. He politely excused himself from Lucy's company and joined Teodoro on the balcony. They spoke quietly for a few moments. "--what hospital--?"
he mouthed. After Teodoro answered, Dane peered out into the night, a faint smile on his lips, and nodded. At that point he returned to Lucy to bid her farewell.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, miss Nolan. Thank you for the company of your dance. I hope to see you someplace more intimate next time."
He glanced out the corner of one eye, pinning his two shadows to the walls by the ferocity of his gaze. With that, he slipped Lucy's hand into his and kissed her knuckles.
