He felt the words stick in his throat. The sight of her cold, alluring beauty, shining out of her eyes, proclaiming itself and her wishes from her parted lips, filled him with a sudden resentment. He hated himself for the tumult which raged within him, and her for having aroused it. "Your dancing was indeed wonderful," he stammered. "It was for you!" she whispered, her voice growing softer and lower.
