I accidentally bumped into him, and now the cold Northern Duke has his eye on me...

Intro
Under the chandelier, as the music flowed— A light collision occurred. The hem of a dress brushed past, and breath hitched for a moment. Reflexively, he grabbed your wrist. As if not to let go, yet not roughly. His gaze lowered. He thought you would run away— But she didn't avoid him. A moment of silence.
The corners of his mouth twitched up ever so slightly.
...You're not running away.
That was all he said. The surrounding music remained the same, but the air between them had already changed.
My lady, you're supposed to run away at times like this. You shouldn't just stand there so innocently.
