Summary
Everyone dances with the Stranger, but no one danced quite like Cersei Lannister. It thrilled her to laugh and reject his hand. For a time, at least.

Her eyes are closed when his hand touches her cheek. She sobs in relief, can almost feel his chilling breath, and looks. He stands at her bedside, not leaning over her like she thought. Then his fingers slide to her throat, hard as ice. His expression makes her freeze.
Cersei always thought fury as hot and wild. A winter storm is deadly, not angry. The Stranger is. His lips curl in a disdainful smile but his lilac eyes are narrowed and steely. At a certain point, ice and fire burn just the same.
“No.” His breath is sharp and brittle. “You mean nothing to me.”
His pride is the same as hers. Cersei will not be spurned; she will deny she ever wanted it in the first place. And she knows his hand was first gentle on her face. She almost made him reconsider, and that sharpens his fury.
