"I don't know how to dance... I'll skip," Lauren excused herself. She had been sipping juice and enjoying

cake on the couch until Landon had suddenly invited her to dance.

"I would only embarrass you because I don't know how to dance. Besides, I don't like crowded places. I panic when there are too many people around."

Landon was shocked and upset. Lauren's second excuse was the real reason behind her refusal to dance. Despite his attentiveness, he had let his excitement get the better of him, forgetting that she suffered
