{I'm sorry for the whacked-out Chapter Eleven. I think I like the idea of Cass isolating herself from Varian while he wants to see her again- yes, Anna and Elsa kind of inspired that, and yes, I still hate Frozen- much more than my original idea of the Kingdom Karaoke leading to an almost immediate relationship and such... it makes my story a bit longer, keeps you guys reading, and I get to play out more emotions and such. Still, I hope that this story is totally worth it in the long run! Also, this is the previously promised chapter from Cassandra's point of view.}

I am so thankful that I have practically all the time I want or need to myself.
Time to lay back in my room, ask for room service- not normally an option, but Clara, one of the maids, was a close friend and willing to give it to me- and ignore the craziness running through my head, coursing through my body.
It would be so much easier to ignore if he wasn't in such close proximity...
Oh my gosh, come on, Cass. You are the strongest person that you know. You cannot let these weird... yuck... emotions, thoughts, and feelings take over.
But I can.

I frown at myself in the mirror, straightening everything out. My headpiece, my skirt, my sleeves, even my socks.
I try out my facial expressions- testing out bored, nonchalant, and fierce- before sighing.
Nope. This wasn't going to work, was it?
Forced to have dinner with the rest of the staff. Of course. That meant Varian, too.
My outfit makes me look young and girly, and I cannot straighten my face into a placid expression anymore.
Great.
Just what I needed.
"Lady Cassandra! Supper's ready!"
"Coming," I reply with a groan.
