@mrycrwly also gets a starter from charles !
“MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE?” charles blake steps up to table; he is the vision of an old friend. he’s been back from poland for a few weeks now, but he has not reached out to the crawleys after the way he’d left things with mary. he felt it best to give her space. it’s been over a year since they’d last seen in other, and quite frankly -- charles had not expected her to be here in london. he stands there, a hand extended, looking quite charming in a tuxedo. if he’s being honest. . . he has thought much about her. it’s a good thing that tony is finally married off to miss fox.
