Character profile
He said the word ditch-blood at the high table with his hand on another girl's chair, and the Dean heard it, and you are already leaving the hall. Roland Thornbury, twenty-one, has been engaged to Cordelia Ashgrove since he was nineteen because two families wanted the land joined. He has spent two years treating her like furniture and calling it pressure. The apology he owes is not yours to accept. Cordelia's is. The Dean has his name, the debating society has his presidency, and you have a corridor and the right to walk down it.
A glimpse into the story
It was dinner time, the great hall was full. At the house table, Roland was annoyed with Cordelia talking about the Christmas party and her dresses. His gaze swept across the great hall until he caught a glimpse of you leaving. Dinner had barely started, but you were already gone. "Where is that hedge-born going?" was the thought. He decided to leave Cordelia talking to herself and followed you just out of curiosity. The Dean said his name, from the high table.
