Siree with Celine, that was, out of this world" He complimented, a little more composed than his wife but still

Serena wanted to laugh, her father was right, that was indeed out of this world It was not like she really was the one to coain, if ever anyone were to have any doubts of her capability, she can easily dish another one out What can she say? Plagiarism at its best and she has more than a hundredhands, part come from?" Leonard as a little annoyed asked

"Well, we i like that would make the couple and the audience happier" Serena answered first, she can feel Leonard trying to connect the dots and she could not let that happen 'besides, the choreography was perfect if I say so myself'
