Hope stared at the starless night above her. She felt so different tonight. She didn’t even feel like herself. She turned and looked towards the dancing floor. Rich high class people danced gracefully, their expensive jewelleries sparkling brightly. Their expensive dresses and tuxedos were one of a kind Italian designer clothes made especially for tonight. Hope caught her reflection at the mirror. She almost didn’t recognize herself. Wearing a strapless electric purple dress, draped with expensive diamonds and white gold, she looked very different. She quickly scanned the ballroom for the time and saw the grandfather clock resting grandly in the corner. It was almost 11 o’clock.

“Can I have this dance?” a voice asked her from behind her. Hope turned around and found Ryan smiling at her. Noticing her uneasy expression, he continued, “It’s okay if you don’t want to. I’m not forcing you.” Ryan held her hand and stared into her big brown eyes. Her eyes were filled with fear, he could see that clearly.

Hope realized that Ryan was staring at her. She looked down at her feet trying to avoid his eyes. Eventually, her gaze fell onto his hands which were still holding hers. Ryan’s warm hand felt so nice. She wished that he would just take her in his arms and hold her until she forgot about all her foolish fears. ‘In your dreams, honey,’ she mocked herself.

Suddenly, without warning, Ryan pulled Hope into his arms close to him. She could now feel his warm breath fanning her right cheek. She stared into Ryan’s turquoise eyes. She felt safe in his arms and she didn’t why but somehow it still felt nice. Ryan looked at her and uttered the words that she had been longing to hear since she first got to know him.

“I love you, Hope. I’ve loved you since the day I first laid eyes on you…”
