@Theodosia_HP Archies face paled as white as the snow. His stomach continued to twist into knots from what he had done. He... regretted it. Archie quickly slipped his jacket off before holding it out to Theo.
โI-Iโm... sorry, Theo... I didnโt mean to.โ He whispered
@Theodosia_HP Archie stopped, the anger morphing into regret. What the hell was he doing? He lost control of his emotions for a small moment over nothing? Taking a couple shaky breaths before looking at her.
โI just... I wanted to talkโ
@Theodosia_HP Archie grits his teeth together before grabbing Theos wrist and pulling her out through the balcony into the cool winter air. The fridges air brings some relief to this growing heat but not much.
@Theodosia_HP Archie grit his teeth, taking deep breaths.
โI have yet to call upon a lady and if I did then you and Jack would be the first to know.โ
Running his fingers through his mop of hair, he hisses. โWhy are you being so difficult?โ
@Theodosia_HP Archies vision went red but only for a moment. This new emotion bubbling inside him, he felt like he was about to combust.
โHe called on you? And you didnโt tell me?โ He says, holding back the anger and frustration threatening to burst.
@Theodosia_HP Archie looked down at her, his brows still furrowed.
โLord Rutherford?โ Archie mumbled, clenching and unclenching his fist. โWhy does he want two dances?โ
@Theodosia_HP Archies brows furrowed together, his arms crossed over his chest. Something ached inside of him and he didnโt quite understand the feeling.
โHave you promised any others two?โ
@Theodosia_HP Archies neck heated, the red creeping to his cheeks. The way she laughed at the idea sent a shard of glass to his heart. A feeling he didnโt understand.
โWell... no! I just want to dance with my friend! Is that so terrible?โ He huffed
@Theodosia_HP Archie raises a brow, gulping slightly. Her touch sent warmth through him. Something he didnโt understand. โShould I steal you for three? Maybe I should cross off all the other menโs name and put my ownโ
@Theodosia_HP Archie stares at the card, the sudden urge to cross out the other names overcoming him. He takes a deep breath before putting his name down twice.
โYeah I see that...โ he looks at her, his brows furrowing slightly. โI better be your favourite suitorโ
