They've gone this long without a single word between them. He's almost surprised to hear her voice among all the other sounds, unsure if that's what he might have expected from her appearance, but he stays close to be sure that she hears his answer.

"Leo." He doesn't ask for hers, assuming that she'll offer it in return. And if she doesn't, he can just ask later.

"Natalie."

Everything about her says that she never actually does this, nor does she actually stay to get the other person's name. But maybe that's all that will happen tonight, because instantly, she's already itching to get out of the crowd, slowly slipping her hands out of his. "Thanks for the dance."

"Anytime."

Leo really doesn't want to see her go, but he's not about to stop her if that's what she wants. You can only run so far, and things like this never do last. With one more smile for her, he turns to head off the dance floor once her hands are out of his, intent on getting another drink at the bar.
