Our eyes met across the room. Suddenly the full force of that smile was directed at me. Oh God, oh God, oh God. My breath hitched in my throat. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think. I was probably gaping like a dead fish!! Oh, if only I could be as elegant and beautiful as Esme, or Lyra, or whoever Legolas was playing his sweet song for last night. 

Only a very brief moment had passed but I was still trapped underneath his beautiful blue gaze. 

Suddenly Legolas made as if to rise from his seat, but King Thranduil laid a hand on his son's arm and whispered something to him.

 Legolas slowly sat, disappointment painting his face. And another emotion, deep in his eyes...I could not read it, but could it be...? I gasped. Nay!! And before I could ascertain it with certainty he looked away. 

My heart nearly tore in two. It was almost as if...no. It couldn't have been. I must have made it up. 

Saddened, I picked at my food, no longer hungry. Though I peeked up at him every few minutes, I never caught him looking at me. 

A while later, the feast ended and people started clearing tables for dancing. After a few false starts a slow tune began. I couldnt help myself, I had to look at Legolas, because the first dance was with the Prince, by tradition. 

Who would he choose? And then my heart stopped as he rose from his seat, eyes fixed on me.
