Title: This Could Be Love Rating: G (unless “R” is for “ridiculous”) Length: 232 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Kel is determined to have the time of her life. Note: I deserve to be flogged for this one.
No matter where she went in the Crystal Ballroom, she could feel the glowers of the four Cavall women who sat with their father in one corner.
“It’s because he told them about, well, whatever it was that you two were sharing,” Owen told her, looking uncomfortable. “They don’t like the idea of you and Lord Wyldon being together.”
Kel fought to keep her expression smooth. She glanced over at Wyldon, finding his eyes on her. She felt the old, familiar pang in her chest that had been a frequent companion since the month before, when he had put an end to their relationship.
It was those cursed girls. They didn’t like him tangling his name with someone who wasn’t respectable. Even Margarry, who until recently had been quite nice to Kel, had issues with her father’s interest. Now Kel was seen as some trollop who was no better than she ought to be. Never mind that she cared more for Wyldon than she had any man in a long time.
“It’s not right,” she told Owen. Squaring her shoulders, she walked across the ballroom to face off against the girls.
“Lady Knight Keladry,” the eldest – Eiralys, she remembered – began, when Kel finally reached them.
Kel raised her hand, cutting off the older woman. “Nobody puts Wyldon in a corner,” she said, holding out her other hand to him, requesting a dance.

Ahahaha. I was totally prepared for a bit of angst and sadness, with Kel facing off for the umpteenth time against people trying to dash her dreams -
But I honestly did laugh out loud. Thanks for such a great piece of humour!
