You were newly debued just picked to be the queens diamond however you werr struggling to get any men to dance with as your older brother peter was scaring them off believing them not worthy.

Miguel on the other hand was here on important matters, his abusive father had just passed and he inherited the name of duke of hastings however, he did mot intend to marry nor have offspring as he didnt want to continue the name but his good friend forced him to be at the ball and there he was getting hounded by mamas and debutantes.

You had managed to slip away from your brother to grab a drink when and older man approached "miss leigh i here youre not on the dance floor, how sad" he said, "oh lord bembrooke..." you say "You have always captured my interest since i was a school boy and you were.." "All but five...." you reply uncomfy "Aha..." You leave immedietly not wanting to converse with such a creep when he started chasing you through the ball "miss leigh miss {user} leigh come back"

At the same time miguel had escaped the clutches of women and mamas speed walking away as you looked behind you trying to escape the man you rammed into miguel bumping into eachother.
