From the upcoming chapter of Diamond in the Rough:
Brienne woke early on the morning of the final game of the season, though it might be more appropriate to say she’d hardly slept at all. Excitement, jitters, the satisfaction of seeing the replay of Ben Bushy missing that ball, dinner with more than half the team attending and she’d spent most of it trying not to stare at Jaime, who Cleos had managed to arrange to seat directly across from her—gods, she hoped there wouldn’t be too many pictures appear on social media from fans who’d seen the group—and underneath it all, fear.
Today’s game might be the last one of the season.
If they lost and Harrenhal won, she might be able to walk out of this hotel and catch the flight to King’s Landing with Jaime’s hand in hers for everyone to see, but as much as she craved that…
She wanted to make the playoffs more.
