I have always quite liked the concept of masked balls, you can fall in love with someone because of their personality,not looks which often seems to happen to me. It's tiring!
I spot my father from the balcony overlooking the whole of the ball, he is exchanging what I hope are kind words with my cousin. As I make my way down our spiral staircase,the music begins and all heads turn towards me, but I have no clue why.
It takes me a while to realise that there is a slightly handsome pot-bellied man standing.(well actually he is on one knee) at the bottom of the stairs. I gasp and as if on cue my mother appears with a huge smile from ear to ear Why, hello Cheshire Cat.
"My dear, my life, my Juliet" the man says, and I have to bite my lips to stop my eyes from rolling "I am Horatio, son of Harold of the gold mines, and I dearly wish for your hand in marriage, I will not take No for an answer " his lip trembling at this point.
"I'm afraid I must reject your offer" I say with as much dignity as I can
"But-b-but I love you, I devote m-"
"You are too kind, but the answer is No!" I say and storm off without looking back, to the sound track of my mother's calls.

How do you feel about Horatio?
