He rides into the inn in the middle of the night to tell her that he's going robbing and will come back the next day no matter what.
""Please give me the documents as soon as possible," she said." That's a line of dialogue.
Answer:
Head held high
Explanation:
Without the excerpt to read from, it's hard to know context. However, the other phrases don't seem to give a confident tone. "People staring" would create anxiety. "Smile to yourself" is very internal and doesn't project confidence. To "feel cheated" would be to feel hurt not confident. To have a "special bond" would be a private connection. So... "head held high" is the most confident phrase here.
