Syd rounded the corner into the ballroom and came to a halt. Her amber eyes took in the opulent decor and she smiled. The place was gorgeous! She smiled as she slow started into the room still taking it all in. Thankfully this meant she wasn't a bit overdressed.

Jasper hadn't had a drink all night. Not one sip of champagne. Why then was his mind telling him, as if intoxicated or working off the effects of some euphoria-inducing potion, that he'd seen that familiar face before? An amber-eyed face filled with kindness and sympathy that he'd left for figurative dead more than a decade ago.

It couldn't have been her. Not the Syndil Rivers whose touch he'd idiotically decided to starve himself of for want of being good enough for her. A never fulfilled want. And had he hurt her in doing so? Did she miss him? Remember him? Was he anything but that dolt who doesn't know how to return an owl? A coward. He slowly stopped the momentum of his dance with Mrs. Kapoor and asked to be alone. A request Kapoor complied to wishing to see her former pupil do on his own. And for what seemed far more than a minute, Jasper stood there on the ballroom floor paralyzed by the sight of Syndil Rivers.
