The story (rumor) that he hears when he first returns to Winterfell seems to go that he had always loved Sansa Stark, since the day he arrived from Pyke, but that is not quite true. He had hoped to wed her one day, yes, and she had been a pretty child, but she had been a child then, a round-cheeked toddler grasping at her mother's skirts when he saw her first and an exquisite maid - but a maid not even flowered - when he saw her last.
It had been her mother that Theon had enjoyed watching back then, sneaking down to the hot springs where she would go to rest the aches of pregnancy, wrapping a hand around his cock and hoping to get a glimpse of her naked and wet. Sansa had been a child and Lady Stark was a woman and a beautiful one at that, and unlike the kitchen maids that he groped in alcoves, she was always entirely out of his reach and so he had contented himself with watching and fantasizing.
He remembers anew that Catelyn Stark is dead, and he blinks away memories of the past - it all seems so very long ago, and he knows he is Theon, knows his name, but he barely can recall that Theon.
This totally fits with my Theon headcanon. I love the image of Theon creeping around the hot springs. The ending is perfect with Theon remembering his name but feeling so far removed from the boy he used to be. Thanks!
