AN: I feel kinda bad for using my accident to get reviews, but they really did cheer me up. Thanks a heap! We'll find out for sure today, but it's looking like my car is totaled, so I'll be getting something new (to me. It'll most likely be a used car.). My wrist is burned from the airbags, and a have a bruise by my collarbone where the seatbelt pulled. Other than that, I am fine. Thanks so much for your concerns! Enjoy the new drabbles- LoB

Baird of Queenscove
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All eyes were on the grand staircase. Many young ladies had been introduced to the court this year, and though all were lovely, only one caught Baird's eye.

She was a shy-looking girl in a pale violet dress. Her brown curls tumbled gracefully down her back. Who was this- this vision?

"Lady Kristina of Masbolle," the herald announced. The pretty girl came gracefully down the stairs, looking carefully at the floor before her feet.

When she looked up, Baird caught her eye and gave a smile. She smiled back, blushing appropriately. Baird knew with that look that this was the girl he would marry. He took Kristina's hand and led her onto the dance floor.
