Andy couldn't be here despite Reeva complicated plan to gather the most old fashioned members of the Hellfire Club's disappointing Inner Circle. Being here at this gala and suffering through this night so they tear down the entire building sending all the rubble on top of their targets. The old fashioned elders and their connected allies who rejected Reeva's methods and plans while seeing people like Andy and Lorna as disposable pawns to use and control.  

To everyone else this gala, this dance was like a scene from a old movie for everyone else but for Andy it was a living nightmare. Everything was a reminder to that agonizing night that awakened Andy's ability.  His hands were shaking badly and accidentally he shattered a couple glasses when he spotted someone with a small resemblance to one of his bullies. He just wished Reeva would give him the signal already so the flashbacks and the pain wouldn't occur every time he turned around or every minute. He wished he didn't notice them look down on him not even pity just disgust. 

For a few minutes he recalled the scalding water perfectly when someone accidentally  spilled something hot on him and he recoiled publicly Reeva's facade vanished for a few minutes and she glared at him for putting her carefully thought out plan at stake.  He thought nobody picked up on how much he needed help till Esme gave him a understanding and sympathetic smile. Inviting him to dance and telelpathically giving him a few quick instructions and lessons in how to dance. She whispered in his ear kindly." I know your reminded of the worst night of your life and you feel so horrible inside but tonight I can help you turn this one into a enjoyable amazing experience. Making two great memories while carrying out Reeva's plan." His first  dance and his first time confronting healthy that night all at once turned out much better then he hoped. " I can't just take this memory away but I can help suppress it." 

He liked holding Esme so close and blocked out everything around them. " I know this dance is one good memory but what is the other one?"

" Tearing this place apart and dancing near it's remains Von Strucker." 

 He loved being so close sharing this amazing night and they both nearly missed Reeva's signal. They took a few more seconds before Esme made people go batshit crazy and he tore the place apart. Moments later they and Reeva were staring at the rubble with at least seven dozen bodies buried underneath the rubble.  But before they could leave Andy kindly asked for a couple minutes alone with Esme.  Reluctantly Reeva let them have it.

" A dance lady Frost as a token of my thanks for helping me please?" He asked giving a huge grin and a bow. She took his hand and smiled." Of course Andrew." They shared one final dance for the night and Andy never felt more alive or more relieved. Or felt love like that.
