a perfect storm is brewing, champagne and emotion swirling within her. blue eyes glued to the dance floor as couples embraced to a romantic tune, swaying and staring longingly. it’s almost a visual crafted just to spite her, as if the universe plans on mocking her. though sansa will not allow it. feet sore from high heeled shoes sneak her away to the lobby of the hotel the party is at, the sudden quiet after being in a room with a blasting dj calms her, though soon she notices theon - her brother’s best friend, a fixture in the stark family as long as she can remember.
sansa avoids his gaze, not wishing to reveal her inner thoughts, though she knows standing there like a sore thumb won’t improve her situation either. holding the champagne flute towards the party, she down plays her thoughts. ❛ claustrophobic. ❜ she lies. ❛ there are a whole lot of people inside... ❜ and they’re all in love and they’re all dancing.
