Dany was sitting in the car and hated it already. She agreed to meet with Ygriette in a restaurant, and have some girl chat. She couldn't imagine. A year passed, but they still did not meet with each other, unless the reception and of course, the time when she saved her life. She took a deep breath and opened the car door. How the hell Jon was able to convince her to do this? She wondered in herself while walking towards to the entrance. It was a fancy place, what else would it be. Ygriette family has no money now, but they still acted like the most wealthy family around. It was hilarious. Jon gave work to her father and helped her to find a job in NYC, not with too much success, yet she is here now. 

"Can I help you Miss?" the waitress was smiling at her, brought her back from her thoughts.
"Yes, I have a reservation. The name is, Wild." she answered quickly.
"Oh, of course, Miss Targaryen. Miss Wild is already there and waiting for you. Follow me please" she walking to the back of the room and soon Dany spotted her. She can recognize her red hair and white porcelain skin anytime. She looked much thinner, then the last time if it is possible. She slowed down her steps and put her best smile to her face. 
"Daenerys, darling! I am so glad you are here" Ygriette stood up and hugged her. 
"To be honest, it surprised me. I mean... " Dany sat to the chair " the invitation, and the offer."
"I know. I mean... our friendship not started in a good way but... I really hope we can change it now."
Our friendship? Dany was surprised in her words. She doesn't feel she could call her ever a friend. She was Jon ex-psychotic love. She is a hysterical and uppish high-class bitch and Dany always hated that type.
"So? Daenerys!" Ygriette tried to catch her eyes and raised her glass "Toast to our friendship. And your wedding of course." She was smiling so kindly and sweet.
"Yeah" Dany tried to smile "Cheers!"
Ygriette drank into her glass then Dany felt how she was staring her. Scanning her dresses, her face ... she frowned.
"Sorry." Ygriette laughed "I was just thinking about the dress and the make up for the wedding. I have very good friend. LA best hairdresser is my moms friend. She will definitely make your look ... ahm right for the wedding."
"I have my hairdresser and my makeup man. So... I don't think..."
"Daenerys. Dear." She grabbed her hand on the table. "You have no idea what are you up to. It is not a simple wedding. You are going to marry one of the wealthiest man in America. You have to... we have to... change your middle class style to upper class. Believe me."
"Jon loves me in this way." She pulled her hand back. She felt how she run out of patience.
"That is true. But it is not Jon who you have to charm that night but all the billionaires in LA. What would they say if you pick a no name designer dress. That can't be happening." Ygriette continued.
"I think we have different notion about my wedding." Dany sighed and rolled her eyes. "It will be a small wedding with close friends and family."
"Jon did not tell you?"
"Tell me what?" She shook her head.
"He... invited many of his business partners while he was in New York. Wow. It seems you should talk about a bit more instead of having sex every time."
"What?" Dany was upset.
"Honey. It doesn't matter. I know how ... wild and vehement he is in bed. I know it is hard to say no to him. I know him but... Jon sometimes use his charm to skip ... boring talks." She giggled and drank into her glass again.
"Well it is different with us." Dany answered and lowered her head.

"If you say so." Ygriette smiled. "But I... think you should agree with him ... about some details before start the wedding planning."
"Maybe I am wrong but... I did not say yes to your offer." She leaned back on the chair. No matter how hard Ygriette tried... she can't bare her. She tried. She came here but her opinion did not change.
"But I thought... accepting my invitations means..."
"It means I think about it." Dany told her immediately. "But in the way I want it. Because this is my wedding not yours." She made things clear.
"Jon was right. You... really don't like me and you still thinks I am your enemy." She said quietly.
"It... it is not about that." Dany tried to save the situation. Why the hell Jon has to be that honest with her. She just hoped he did not tell her... she still thinks Ygriette shoot her for reason.
"Look. I... went to a really good doctor in New York. I am... going to treatments. For a while now. I... had problems. I couldn't let him go. I... thought we ... belongs together. But... that is the past. My therapist said the next step... is... getting to know you better. To move on. I wanna ... I need your help Daenerys to get better and I wanna help you with the wedding. Really. Please. Give me one more chance." Ygriette almost begged her.
She was staring her white face for some minutes. She did not even find her pretty. She did not even understand how she and Jon ... of course Jon said they never was a thing but... he did fuck her. Fuck. She thought. She was jealous. Jon was right and she hated it. And it was nonsense. And if she send her away... she cannot deny ...
"Fine." She sighed finally. " but... promise me... you won't do or arrange anything without asking me. Okay?" Dany tried to put her best smile.
"Really? Oh my God. Daenerys you have no idea what it means to me." Ygriette smiled and she seemed so happy. "WAITER!" She shouted. "House best wine. Now!"

Dany rolled her eyes. Sure... house best wine. With Jon's money. She was so sure all of this paid by him.

They were talking at least for two hours. Ygriette would stay longer but Dany has enough. That was too much for one day. She just wanted to go home and cuddle to her love. After she ask some questions of course. That thing he invited people to their wedding without even discuss her... that is so Jon.

"Ygriette. My dear." A tall, red hair woman hugged her. She clearly from her class but al least she did not look like a skeleton.
"Ross! Damn darling. I haven't seen you for a while." They were hugging and chatting and totally ignored Dany.
"As I see I can go now." She stated.
"Oh. I am so discourteous. Ross this is Daenerys." Ygriette showed with her arms. It was clear Ross heard about her earlier. Her face couldn't lie or not to Dany.
"Nice to meet you." Dany stretched her arms.
"Yeah sure." Ross frowned and immediately turned back to her friend. Dany just smiled below his nose. That was so ridiculous. "Ygriette darling we should go to that amazing spa tomorrow. I heard the massage can change your life."
"Good idea." Ygriette agreed and looked to Dany. "Wanna join?"
"Oh. Thank you but I have to work."
"Are you working?" Ross stared her scornfully.
"Until she gets married. I think it is some small compromise from Jon." Ygriette stated.
"No. I will work after the wedding too." Dany answered confidently.
The two red heads were looking her. They were surprised but scornful. It was clear they never really had to work in this damn life.
"And Jon agrees with this? What happened with that man? Totally lost his mind?" Ross freaked out.
"No. He respects my decisions." Dany smiled "My apologize ladies but I have to go. He is waiting for me." She nodded towards them and started to walk to the car.

Before she get in the car she had a strange feeling. Like someone is watching her. She looked around but did not see anything suspicious.
"Are you okay?" Jamie asked her while opened the car door.
"Sure. Just take me home please." She raised her beautiful eyes to him and got into the car. Jamie also looked around after closed the door. Dany saw how he nodded towards to a man with his head. The stranger packed his stuffs and walked away.

"How was the lunch?" Jamie asked her while he was driving.
"Fine." She sighed.
"Mr. Snow... I mean Jon will be so happy. I am sure even if you don't say yes to her offer. You did the right thing and met with her."
"I said yes." She lowered her head.
"You... are not happy about it. Or... it seems... "
"No I am not." Dany felt she can't keep her mouth. "And I am not happy about when you and him keep secrets from me"
"Pardon?" Jamie looked to her in the mirror.
"What is going on? I saw the man. In front of the restaurant. I saw the other one inside. What the hell is going on? Robb is dead. Ramsay is in jail. Why are those men there Jamie? And do not lie to me." She was definite and serious.
"It was Jon's order."
"Yeah I figured it out. But why?"
"Dany. You know I can't say anything. Please. Just... ask him. I... just do my work to keep you save." He answered politely.
"From who?"
"I cannot say anything else Daenerys." He sighed and he stuck his eyes to the road.
"Great. New lies. New secrets." She stated. "And I am planning to marry this man."
Jamie did not answer. He understood her feelings but he swore to Jon he won't tell her. He did not want to cause problems even if his opinion was different from Jon.
"Or maybe I will change my mind." Dany added quietly.
"You know he loves you. Do not... blame him... he just wants ..."
"To keep me save because I am his biggest treasure. It not works in this way. Not in a normal world." Dany was edgy.
"You are not in a normal world Daenerys. Not next to him. Not as his fiance. You ... accepted his world when you said yes to him." Jamie tried to calm her down. He was right. Dany knew it. She accepted this strange world. This chaotic world for the man she loves... but she hated the lies and the games. She proved to Jon she can be trusted. She proved to him she can handle situations quite well. It was not her fault Ygriette walked in and shot her. Of course just accidentally. Sure. She still doubt it.
"Jon asked me to tell you he arrives home late. You should not wait him."
"Oh I will. Be sure about it. I wanna talk with him. I wanna talk with him about many things." She murmured.
"Dany I..."
"Jamie enough. Just turn on the radio and do not try to find more way to defend him. I don't care." She was odious. She knows that. She knows Jamie did not deserve this but that day was too much for her. The wedding, Ygriette. The lies. The strange feeling someone is following or watching her. She just wanted to get her life back. Her normal life... but Jon was not a part of that life and no matter how she hated his behaviors sometimes she knew... she can't live her life without him.

She get out from the car without a word when they arrived home. She walked upstairs and her mind was running. She needed a shower and some silence. Some alone time. To make things clear in her head. Maybe it is better Jon is not home... she was not ready for an argument in that moment but she was sure it comes. As soon as he finally get home.
