Sansa felt a warmth burgeoning in her heart when she looked at her now cousin, Jon.
He was more noble than she remembered, more handsome and more intelligent than since they had parted.
Jon could not reconcile the beautiful woman with the girl who had once despised him.
Her face was prettier in its serenity, her smile more open and her mind more thoughtful. He felt a flush sweep through him.
Coy glances were swapped, meetings in secluded rooms were made and late night conversations took place in her solar.
Hidden from society, love bloomed quietly yet boldly between them.
