But, with one more look around the hall before stepping into the seating area and looking for an empty place to stay, he saw her, wearing that dress matching his outfit that looked wonderful on her. Quickly running a hand through his hair, he bit his lower lip and decided to approach her, although he had a feeling that she was ignoring him, but he just couldn't stay away anymore. It has been too long.
"Rose?" He cleared his throat, finding out that his voice sounded slightly shaky. Great. That was exactly what he needed.
Rose cringed when she heard his all too familiar voice say her name out aloud. Why couldn't he have just ignored her? Sigh. She forced herself to give a faint smile before she turned around to look at him.
Gosh, it pained her so much to even look at him.
"Hi Konrad!" Rose said, hoping that she sounded a little cheerful.
"How have you been?" Honestly, this felt so stupid. She couldn't believe the fact that she was greeting her fiance like some kind of a friend..but she didn't know what else to say. Everything was weird.
