[Perhaps in them both wanting it, the pieces will fit themselves together somehow.
And who is she to say no to such a charming man who's come to sweep her off her feet with a dance? They've only promised one anyway. If there was ever a time to stray from the script, it would be now, wouldn't it? While there was still time before the tragic finale? This was supposed to be the light-hearted moment, and she's the Princess. She can do whatever the heck she wants.
Right now, what she wants is to accept his hand, slipping her own over it before she takes it in a surprisingly delicate grip... and pulls him to her until their bodies crash against one another.
That's when she pauses to look up at him... To get a better look at the man behind the mask, noting how the moon reflects off his eyes almost too perfectly and how his smile brings a wave of warmth through her, even when the night's chill brushes over them both. Her lips part, and her eyes roam his face down to his, and she feels the sudden urge to seal the rest of that distance between them—
But the music shifting in the ballroom to a slower waltz pulls her out of her daze.

... Right. Right.]
