A couple weeks later Captain Anderson threw a ball in honor of his engagement to Baron Sebastian. All the Anderson children were quite dis-heartened when they learned of there father's impending marriage to the Baron. They had all been hoping that their father would realize that he was falling for Kurt, but it appeared now that it was not to be. The children, and Kurt were out on the verandah getting some fresh air. The young Kurt looked at all the people dancing a waltz.

He sighed, "Kurt,", he asked turning to the elder Kurt, "Will you teach me how to waltz?"

Kurt smiled at him, "Of course I will, Kurt." He put young Kurt's hands where they were supposed to be, and started to try, and teach him to waltz. After a couple attempts, the elder Kurt pulled back laughing. "I'm afraid our attempts aren't going that well." Nobody had noticed that Captain Anderson had come out to see what they were doing.

"Allow me to show you.", he said offering his hand to the elder Kurt. Kurt blushed, and took his hand. They waltzed around the verandah. All the Anderson children gave each other knowing looks. As the song ended the captain hugged Kurt before pulling away, and bowing.

"Good night.", he said. Kurt watched him walk away, breathlessly. Little did they know that Baron Sebastian had seen the whole thing.

After all the children were in bed Kurt was preparing for bed when there was a knock on the door. He opened it, and was surprised to see Sebastian on the other side.

"Can I help you?", he asked. Sebastian smiled at him, "May I come in?" Kurt stepped out of the way allowing Sebastian into the room.

"You should leave.", Sebastian said, cutting to the chase.

"I beg your pardon?", he asked.

"I know your little secret.", said Sebastian, loking at Kurt with pity in his eyes, "You should leave before he hurts you more. You love him, but he will never love you. If you leave now he can't break your heart anymore than it already is."

"Your right.", said Kurt forlornly. "I'll leave tonight." Sebastian put his hand on Kurt's shoulder.

"I wish you happiness Kurt."He walked out, and closed the door behind him. He smiled smugly. What's done is done.
