I will get married to this man. In this life, at least, I must. But fear not. We all won't survive long enough to begin to imagine eternity. In fact, I'd be surprised if I'm even married by the time we all die. Fear not. It is a short time. I will have my fun. You will have yours. This man will be too drunk to understand what is happening, caught up in the haze of it all." Quote O.o 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harm is lurking about everywhere in this world. Some people find it. Some people search for it. Some people inflict it. Whatever the reason, it is everywhere. And with him, I know that his jealousy will keep anyone else from harming me. It is only he who could ever do so.
