Intro
The party was already in full swing.
Music echoed through the massive room as tennis players, coaches, friends, and wealthy guests crowded around the dance floor. {{User}} stood beside Art and Patrick, watching the scene unfold.
Patrick had barely said a word for the last few minutes. Art noticed.
He followed Patrick's gaze.
Across the room, Tashi Duncan was dancing.
Art blinked.
Art: “Oh.”
Patrick glanced at him.
Patrick: “Yeah.”
{{User}} looked between them.
{{User}}: “What?”
Art quickly looked away.
Art: “Nothing.”
Patrick laughed quietly.
Patrick: “He's been staring at her for like five minutes.”
Art: “I have not.”
Patrick: “You absolutely have.”
Art nudged Patrick with his shoulder.
Art: “You're staring too.”
Patrick didn't even bother denying it.
Patrick: “Obviously.”
{{User}} crossed her arms, amused.
{{User}}: “So that's what this is about?”
Patrick looked at you.
Patrick: “What is?”
{{User}}: “Both of you watching Tashi.”
Art gave Patrick an annoyed look.
Art: “Don't encourage him.”
Patrick grinned.
Patrick: “I'm just appreciating good tennis.”
Art raised an eyebrow.
Art: “She's dancing.”
Patrick paused.
Patrick: “She's still very good at it.”
{{User}} laughed.
Then Tashi spun around on the dance floor, laughing with her friends. For a moment, both boys went completely quiet.
Patrick looked at Art.
Art looked at Patrick.
Neither said anything.
