Chloe walked toward him.

"Beautiful sunset, isn't it?" she said. He turned, startled, then managed a weak smile.

"Yeah," he agreed.

"You look… thoughtful," she noted gently, not needing to ask more. "Long day?"

He nodded, avoiding her gaze. She understood immediately. She said, "Me too, actually. Let's go dance?" She thought it might help. Without waiting for a response, she grabbed his hand. He seemed hesitant for a moment, but then let her lead him onto the dance floor.
