"Hmm...?" Mei looked away from the enchanting fireworks display at the sound of Syrus's voice, an abashed smile appearing on her face as Syrus thanked her for the dance. "Are you kidding? This was so much fun! I should be thanking [i]you,[/i]" she answered playfully, her eyes flickering down self-consciously at the way their hands were still entwined. She was about to say something about sitting out the next dance so that they could talk more, but he took her by surprise yet again as he suddenly lifted her hand and kissed it softly with a gentle brush of his lips. "S-Syrus...", she stammered nervously, her face the colour of Syrus's hair as she looked away bashfully at the other people dancing around them. "Then maybe...we can do this again sometime...", she murmured quietly, her lips curving into a secretive smile whilst her eyes flickered briefly to the illuminated clock above them. Oh, it was only almost midnight...

Wait. Midnight...?

"Oh!" A panicked cry escaped the distracted brunette as she immediately withdrew her hand from Syrus's grasp, her face contorting into a look of despair as she glanced over at Syrus apologetically. "I have to go! Like, right now. I have a train I have to catch, and...it's really important that I get back home," she explained with a sense of urgency, stepping away from him with a slightest hint of reluctance . "I'm really sorry. I-I wish I could explain, but uhh....bye!"

And with a flutter of grey satin, Mei disappeared into the dancing crowds, and out of sight.
