He would have died! The words echoed in her heart for a long time and Something struck in her throat, choking her, making her unable to breath until he held her wrist and ran a finger on it. Touched her back and soothed it.
His face started to blur and She only realized then she had tears in her eyes. Garrison had always been strong. She remembered when she had seen him for the first time. Tall and strong, he was practicing for the knight competition when she went with her father there.
His eyes were sharp and his every action was… she knew she was ensnared by him. But she rubbed it off until they met again in her debut. He had danced with her, the second song it was!
His hands had burnt her and she had seen how he had left the party after that. She was embarrassed, feeling she had made a mistake.
