more pain for @cintraking
she walks with purpose to his door , intent on apologizing for rejecting his proposal. calanthe is stuck somewhere between being in love with him and feeling obligations towards her kingdom. she stands before the oak door for several long moments , unable to decide what she should say. how could she apologize to him and still reject his proposal ? how could she explain that something deep inside her wanted nothing more than to be with him , but she felt stuck and confused. she'd almost convinced herself to turn around and leave when she hears a noise from inside the room , brows furrow as she tries to decipher it. concern and guilt mesh together and she finally brings herself to knock on the door sharply.
