Skylar Morrison was dancing with Elsa Ainsworth. Seeing Keith Thorne and Rosalind Lowell deep in conversation, he said to Elsa, "Miss Ainsworth, one moment. Please excuse me."
The dance had been a formality, and noticing that Elsa Ainsworth was distracted, he decided to be the one to break away.
Elsa Ainsworth watched Skylar Morrison leave, remaining in place as she observed the other dancers on the floor.
Skylar Morrison walked over and patted Ethan Lockwood's shoulder. Seeing Elsa Ainsworth by herself, Ethan headed onto the dance floor.
"What are you two talking about over here?"
"Young Mr. Morrison, why did you leave Sherry all alone on the dance floor?" Rosalind Lowell asked, looking toward the direction Skylar Morrison had come from. Elsa Ainsworth was standing there by herself, but thankfully, Ethan Lockwood was walking over to her.
"Miss Ainsworth is quite popular. There are plenty of men who'd love to dance with her…"
