“oh jesus, aisling -- there you are.” margot was out of breath, having just about run around the party in search of the other princess. “i came with a date tonight, prince ilija of croatia, and we’re engaged, here’s the ring,” she held out her hand. all of her words were coming out in rapid succession, as if someone might pull aisling away and tell her the rest before margot could. “it all happened really quickly and it wasn’t official until today so i couldn’t tell anyone i’m sorry i hope no one told you yet.” having gotten everything out, she finally took a breath. this panicked, frazzled margot was one that only few people would ever see. “god, please tell me you didn’t know. i wanted you to find out from me, but i can only imagine that word travels like wildfire at these things.” [ @highnessaisling ]
