Brandon watched as she ran off and he sighed.  he couldnt go after her but he did stand up and excuse himself from the table and went in the general direction of where she went.  He stood where he could still keep an eye on his sister.  

A young gentleman came up to the table.  he was bold as he was watching Kali the past hour.  "excuse me miss" he says not paying attention to James "would you like to dance?" he asked her.  

Kali look dumbfounded. the young man was offering his hand to her, but wasn't sure if she should take it or not.  she felt her heart rate kick up.  she thought about it.  it was just dancing right, no harm in it.  She hesitated.
