You don't gotta sound so surprised, ( rene counters through a peal of laughter, the upturned corners of his mouth a pretty solid indicator of how truly offended he is at the notion that he, rene ramirez, would show up to one of these things looking anything less than spectacular. (and, well, he has oliver to thank, but there's no way in hell anyone's gotta actually do that.)
he follows the beat of the music with ease, sways with gentle steps as each pair of dancers seems to glide around the dance floor without colliding, even with the very real threat of trailing ballgowns and pointed high heels to contend with. luckily, rene's a pro from too many dysfunctional family functions when he was growing up — anniversary parties and the aforementioned quinceañeras, 'cause him and laura were a little too preoccupied to try going to their senior prom.
a few beats in the song, a few steps later, and he adds, ) Don't think I gotta tell you how gorgeous you look tonight, hermosa. ( his reaction to seeing her, the way he looks at her even still, probably says enough.
rene's never been one to hold his tongue, though, always speaks his mind. there's no telling when the very weak dam of restraint he's got going on just might burst. )
