((Heee!))
"Neither did I. Well"--he scratched the back of his head, suddenly shy--"I did use to sing in my church's choir, when I was younger. I didn't think it would take me far, but look! It's put a smile on your face!"
He continued to dance about with Anastasia and swung their arms with glee.

She laughed, dancing along with him.
"What you've learned served you well!"

"But of course," he beamed. And a strange fluttering sensation passed through the man's chest, where his heart would be. In the midst of their excitement, one half of his smile fell, and he released one hand from Anastasia's to grasp at his chest.

Her smile slipped, her steps faltering at the look on his face.
"Christian? What's wrong?"

He grinned uneasily up at Anastasia.
"It's nothing, of course. Just a bit of a heartache. You know...old memories that come back to haunt me very so often," he shrugged. "It's really nothing."

She'd placed a concerned hand on his arm. When peopled clutched their chest like that...
"Are you sure? Maybe you should sit down..."
Even though she'd known him only a short while, she liked him, and it would be awful if something bad happened so soon.

"I've a bit of a weak heart, you see," he said as he was led to a nearby chair. "Always falling for beautiful women like you."

"Oh!" She could feel her face turning red, and cursed that it made her feelings so obvious.
"Well, ah, you must be a rare sort. I don't think I've made someone's heart flutter quite the way yours does."

"Of course not," he beamed. "I'm one of a kind.
"And perhaps...just perhaps...I could make your heart beat as you make mine."

She answered with a girlish giggle.
"Perhaps you will."

"Surely, you don't doubt me, mademoiselle?"
He raised a brow.

"Oh, no. I think you're quite up to the task."

Ever so slyly, Christian looked away and examined the hem of his ragged shirt.
"Do you dare test me?"

Her shy smile slowly turned into a grin.
"Consider yourself challenged!"

"Oh...you asked for it," he returned, leaping from his seat to pin Anastasia upon the plush carpet floor of the room. He smirked. "This enough for you?"
