Sansa is in her chambers and there is a knocking on her door . She's shocked that there is someone at the door so late at night. She asks who it is .
Jon answers . It's been months since she's seen him . Months since she has heard anything from him , then starting a few weeks ago she was receiving ravens everyday . She knew a bit about what was going on and it hurt her deeply . She had to steel herself for the inevitable , she had lost him to the Dragon Queen . She knows in her heart that she never had him to lose him , so why does this hurt so much ? She knew the answer to that too . She loved him, so much . Now she was never going to be with him .He was going to leave the North , leave Winterfell , leave her for good . Everyone knew the Starks never did well in the South . But that was it then , wasn't it ? He had decided he was not going to be a Stark .

" Sansa please open the door , I know it's late but I thought I'd see you before the morning ." Sansa hesitates , but then what was the use? She should just get this over with .
Sansa slowly opens the door and moves out of the doorway to let him in to the outer chamber .
She's shocked to see him after all this time , he looks worn and haggard . He is looking her over too , drinking her in . As much as she hates to admit it she does see love for her in his eyes .

" I was not expecting that you'd be back from Kings Landing yet Your Grace . It's good to see you ."
She does mean that .

" Sansa , please no formalities . I think we're passed that . Don't you?" Jon thinks he has not fully realized how much he has missed her . His heart starts racing thinking of the task ahead of him .He knows if she doesn't agree , which would be a miracle if she did, he would never feel whole .

" I don't know."

" How can you say that?"

" I don't know what our relationship is so I don't know how formally I should be addressing you ."

Jon scoffs .
"Are we back there again?" He knows she is hurt, but to pretend that there should be formality between them ?

Sansa tries her best to stop her voice from quivering and to try to put on her most neutral face , but internally her heart shattering into a million shards .
Sansa continues " Congratulations are in order , I've been informed that you are marrying Queen Daenerys."

Jon sighs . He has addressed this informally in his letters . Taking the cowards way out he had asked Davos to inform her . " Yes it's true , but I needed to speak to you first . That's why I'm here in the dead of the night ."

Sansa just stares at him and it's taking every ounce of self control not to cry . After a few long minutes she regains her voice .
" Yes so congratulations once again , if you don't mind Your Grace can we please speak in the morning ?"

"Sansa please let me explain!"

" There's nothing to explain. Your the King you can do whatever you like ."

" Sansa , I came to discuss something with you . To ask you something ."

" There's nothing to discuss , nothing to explain . Please leave now ."

" I came to ask you to marry me !"

" What ??? "

" I want you to marry me Sansa ."

"You just told me your marrying Daenerys ."

" Yes , I am marrying her as well ."

Sansa slowly slumps down on the floor .

"You think you can marry both of us ??"

" I'm a Targaryen , it's not unheard of."
