Runaway Bride

"Excuse me?!"

Eleanor Waldorf demanded of Sophia Grimaldi, Queen of Monaco.

It was unheard of! The Waldorf's threatened by the Monaco royals! She was not only affronted but betrayed when Louis' mother reported her daughter had disappeared from her own reception, changing their courteous contract as a consequence of Blair's actions.

"The dowry was wavered! I can't afford to pay it now. I'll lose Waldorf Designs and my home!"

Sophia frowned, "That iz not my problem. If you do not contact Blair and tell her to come wiz me: she iz the Princess of Monaco, not Manhattan," Sophia spat the word 'Manhattan' annoying Eleanor further. "She haz our responsibilities to maintain. You will pay the dowry we so kindly wavered or Blair will suffer humiliation. I will give you vingt-quatre heurs. Bonsoir, Eleanor."

Eleanor was left to stare in disbelief after the Queen of Monaco.

She had twenty-four hours to locate Blair and reunite her with her husband.

Blair had confessed her love to Chuck Bass and run out of the church before saying 'I do'.

Eleanor picked up her faux-fur and shouted to Dorota to keep her informed in case Blair returned.

She would see Chuck Bass - Blair had obviously called for his aid.

The three of them would save Blair and her future.

"Blair," Dan murmured to the bundle beneath his arm.

It was late and rain splattered against the airport windows. He'd done everything he could think of and everything she'd wanted - the plane to the Dominican Republic would take off in half an hour. Dan was her confidant - the one she told her secrets too. He'd known Blair for five years and they'd become friends - best friends: and even if no-one else understood, at least they both had each other.

Blair made an incomprehensible sound, and clutched his jacket, eyes fixed shut.

She was a mess. Her wedding dress hidden beneath the sweatshirt he'd leant her; hoodie and all. She had been cold, waiting for their plane which had been delayed, so held her protectively, until she fell asleep and her tears dried.

"We have to board the plane soon." he murmured, hating that he had to wake her.

She looked so peaceful, there, beside him.

Blair buried her head further into his chest, and he sighed, "I know, but this is what you wanted. Remember? It's the only way you can get a divorce."

Blair's eyelids fluttered and she stifled a yawn beneath her hand. She was warm and fragile, it seemed a shame to hassle her.

"Five more minutes?" she murmured, snuggling against him.

Dan sighed, he supposed he could agree to that.
