Andy didn’t like the way Mark was looking at Cassie. Like a man who was definitely interested in her.

“Ouch!”

Andy realized he’d just stepped on Granny’s foot. “Sorry, Granny.”

“Andrew, get your head out of the clouds, laddie. Listen to the tune and…one, two, three; one, two, three…”

Andy thought he was finally getting the hang of it, then Granny stepped away from him to turn the music off.

“Looks great, everyone. Especially the young ones, Mark, they are fantastic.” Granny picked up a stack of papers from a shelf behind her. “Andrew, I’ll read Fezziwig’s lines and you recite yours. Then I’ll turn off the music, everyone claps, then you’ll walk over to Belle like so…” Granny slowly went to Cassie, bowed and held out a hand to her. Cassie accepted it as Granny stood up. “Then you make a lovely curtsey, lass.”

Cassie did so and Granny smiled. “Splendid. Then I’ll be starting another song and everyone dances again.” She pointed to Mark. “Except you, Mark, you’ll exit stage left once Scrooge walks up to Belle. This is a scene I added myself. This isn’t in the novel.”

Mark stared at Cassie, and Andy didn’t like it. Andy eyed him with tight fists as Mark whispered something in her ear that made her laugh.

“All right, dancers, take your partners,” Granny said. “The Ghost of Christmas Past and old Scrooge have their lines; imagine they’re over to the left of you all watching the party. Now Andrew, imagine that I’m Fezziwig.”

Andy was listening to Granny, but his eyes never left Mark and Cassie, who were apparently chatting about something hilarious.

“Hey, guys, time to dance.” Andy hadn’t meant his voice to sound so menacing, but they all turned to look at him funny.

“We’re just having some fun.” Mark waved Andy’s comment away.

“Don’t be a stick-in-the-mud, Andrew.” Granny lifted a finger. “Say yer lines through without any prompts and you’ll have a nice slice of me Christmas cake.”

“All right, dancers.” Granny switched the music back on and Mark pulled Cassie close to him, then they and the teenagers waltzed with the music.

“Granny, isn’t Mark standing too close to Cassie for a proper waltz? That’s not how you showed us.”

Granny winked at him, then whispered in his ear, “I think Mark fancies her. I’ll correct him shortly.” Granny lifted her script and adjusted her glasses. “It’s a Christmas party, Ebenezer.”

Andy was still focused on Cassie, who seemed to be enjoying her dance with Mark a little too much.

Granny poked him. “It’s a Christmas party, Ebenezer.”

Andy faced Granny and took a deep breath. Pretending she was the Fezziwig character was certainly odd. “But Mr. Fezziwig, there is so much work to be done.”

“There’s to be no work at Christmas. Join in the dancing and make merry with our guests.” Granny switched off the song. “I’ll start this song towards the end instead of turning it off like this.”

“I can make you a CD to play with the end of this song and the next one so you can just play it.
