It was ridiculous for someone of his stature, a mere butler that attended to your needs, to even dream of having your hand in marriage. Yet, as he stands there in a corner of the ballroom, watching you dance with a prince, he can't help but wish he could whisk you away; To place a ring on your finger and proudly be yours.

But as he watches, he can't help but smile bitterly at the sight; You deserved a lot more, and he knew he couldn't provide that.

So he yearns.
