She wasn't even certain if he'd show up to this portion of events, but she'd made a deal with herself. If he did, she'd speak to him. Honestly and without the double meaning dance of careful phrases and non-admittance. She was done. She drove herself mad over him too often. She couldn't keep living in this odd emotional limbo any longer. She meant it this time.
He probably wouldn't even be there.
But he was. And she found him, finally,in the garden, and hung back to look at him a moment. He looked handsome, in formal attire. There was that distracting fluttery sensation in the pit of her stomach. After a few steadying breaths - for god's sake, he was just a man - she smoothed her dress and approached.
"Good evening. Could I have a few moments of your time to talk? I won't keep you long."
