She jerked but to her amazement and surprise he did not take his hand where she had thought he would.
Rather he touched her shoulder and seemed to brush something off.
Everyone turned to look at her.
She mumbled a quick apology at her clumsy self.
"Why are you agitated?" He asked in a mocking tone. "What did you think I was going to do to you?"
Jasmine swallowed hard knowing quite well that he was mocking her.
"Nothing." She said straightening herself up.
She felt like an absolute fool.
"Can I leave now?" She asked him. "Please?"
He gave her a grin. "Of course."
And then she walked away from the dinner hall with her heart in her mouth.
Once she had escaped she was able to take in a very deep breath and then just as she was about to leave she felt a presence behind her.
She jumped and pulled out the dagger that Erik had given her but a hand quickly caught her hand and pulled it away.
