And So It Ends

She waited, forcing her breaths to be slow and even, trying to quell the shaking in her paws. Nervous, fearful, anxious, the girl sighed. She wished that she could blame this boy, blame him for her short comings and dashed future - but she couldn't find it in herself to do so. Perhaps he was at a loss as well? The thought made her stomach give a tight squeeze - what if she was a disappointment to him? It would be tragic, to be considered not enough by the brute she was to mary - but it was a distinct possibility.
It was better to meet him now. It felt a bit like ripping the scab off of a wound.
The bitterness would drip out once she did, right? He couldn't be so bad...
When he finally showed, she was surprised that he already knew her, somehow. He had guessed that it was her, and she was both grateful and intruiged. Had someone described her to him? Blue eyes peered at him, curious about just who this boy was. The other seemed to be around the same size as her, with the most brilliant red fur that she had ever seen. It was a shame really, that she already loved another, because if anything Maverick was easy on the eyes. His own green ones stood out against his pelt, and she smiled, attempting to be polite.
He was a looker, she on the other hand - was not.
Should she attempt to be some sort of charming?
"Maverick. It's good to finally meet you. I don't like hearing more about others than I know first hand." She took a tentative step forward, the smell of these lands was strange, but lush in a way that she wasn't used to. Seracia was lovely but... but it wasn't home. That and, this wasn't the way that she had imagined her first visit would go - Maverick was the wrong lupine inviting her in. "I hope you don't mind me being here, I wanted to actually see you before our wedding." Her words were surprisingly light, but held a hollow note. The word wedding made her heart lurch in her chest, but she didn't let it show on her face. The last thing that she wanted to do, was make her fiance here think that he was inadequate or that she didn't like him right off the bat.
Even if he wasn't exactly what she wanted, she wasn't the type to complain.
"Was it as much of a surprise for you as it was for me?"
