Lyanna Asher: I agree. I couldn't get off the dance floor.

Lila Vanderbilt: Same here and it takes a lot to keep me on the dance floor.

Alice Vanderbilt: I agree with you sister. You rarely dance at all. I usually have to drag you onto the dance floor.

Lila Vanderbilt: That is very true sister. You usually did had to drag me onto the dance floor.

William Vanderbilt: That is true. But I am glad you came onto the dance floor of your own free will this time.

Lila Vanderbilt: Thank you for saying that big brother. It means a lot coming from you.

William Vanderbilt: Of course. Are you having a good time my love?

Lyanna Asher: Yes I am. I'm having a fantastic time.

William Vanderbilt: Sadly yes. Şadiye thank you for telling us that she's here. I really appreciate it.

Şadiye Martell Stark: You're welcome. I know with everything that happened in the past. I didn't want you be caught off guard when you run into her.

William Vanderbilt: Thank you.

Lila Vanderbilt: So what do we do now?

William Vanderbilt: Well I should probably go talk to her.

Lyanna Asher: I think that's a good idea. Clear the air.

Alice Vanderbilt: What are you going to tell her big brother? If you don't mind me asking.

Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy: You know the reason why William. You just don't want to admit it.

William Vanderbilt: Oh that we are meant to be together because of the kind of families that we are from.

Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy: Yes. Come on William admit that we are perfec for each other.

William Vanderbilt: I don't have to admit to anything Yıldız. Because I don't have those kinds of feelings for you.

Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy: We didn't have to have feelings for each other right away. They would have grown over time. If you gave it a chance.

William Vanderbilt: Yıldız I want to be with a person that I truly love and want to spend the rest of my life with. Sadly it's not you.

Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy: Then who?

William Vanderbilt: Lyanna.

Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy: Lyanna. You mean that poor girl who came from who knows where.

William Vanderbilt: Watch what you say about her. She is kind, generous, loving and caring person I have ever met. I love her with all of my heart and nothing is going to ever change that.

Yıldız Çağrı Atiksoy: Will.

William Vanderbilt: Don't Will me. I think it's best that you head back to the house. Out of curtesy to the hosts.
