They were cheering with happiness and content. If Tristan announced anything more, I was sure that they would start dancing too.
It made me furious. How can I dance in my misery? Who gave them the right to dance!
"Stop it!" I screamed! "Stop it! Stop dancing!" I yelled as tears gathered into my eyes and my vision blurry. How could they dance when I was miserable!
A sob broke out and my chest jerked but I sniffed and fisted my skirts in my hands, lifting it up. I ran out of the room and the men parted to let me out. They even opened the door.
I sniffed and ran up the stairs where Tristan had once dragged down from.
I opened the door to a room, which one I did not know, but threw myself onto the bed face down and cried my heart out.
What had happened? I wailed as I thought about it.
Why was everyone happy but me?

I had fallen asleep while crying. I felt the dried tears on my cheeks and my nose was still runny.
