Father always promised

Sansa’s breath caught in her throat at the sight of him, his wide eyes red with grief and his cheeks stained with tears. He ducked his head away again, always so ashamed of his feelings. She remembered him being the same even as a boy. Always wanting to prove to father that he was as good a son as Robb, wanting to prove he was strong and brave like his true born sibling.

Brave and gentle and strong. She tried not to think how Jon is everything father had promised her and all that she could never have.
