closed starter for roslin stark ( @rcgals ) from jasper forrester . setting : highgarden great hall , the evening of the masquerade ball .
even in a crowded room with hidden identities , he can still find her . there’s a certain atmosphere to how she holds herself and as much as he’s tried to convince himself he finds it annoying , he doesn’t . she intrigues him and confuses him all at the same time . he wants to dislike her more than he truly does ... for that would make things much easier , wouldn’t it ? yet , for roslin to dislike him is something he doesn’t want , cautious they could end up tearing each other apart . he’s convinced she already does and though the hope of a good marriage is slipping from his grasp , the blame falls heavily on him . is there even a point in trying ?
still , he does . jasper crosses the hall , gaze fixated on roslin . she looks busy , even though the nearest person is standing a few feet away . something in his stomach churns and he almost freezes , but she notices him before he can make an escape . ❝ princess , ❞ the forrester lord bows , and an idea pops into his head . though she’ll know it’s him , perhaps he could pretend to be someone else ... someone she’d like for the night . ❝ would you spare a dance for your betrothed ? ❞
