I Could Have Danced All Night
The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and New York’s own superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

	Cait was subtly touching up one of the ice sculptures, refreezing the melting ice, and took a step backward. Right into someone. She turned. "I'm so sorry," she said with red cheeks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay," Charlie said with a wide grin. He's not even in the room for two minutes and a hot girl is bumping into him? That's just fine with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And ever the charmer, Charlie brought her hand to his lips and gave it a light, small kiss. "He's my dad," Charlie said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
