You’re far too prickly tempered to be a mistress. You’re far better suited as a wife. - Lisa Kleypas

You deserve someone better than me. Someone young and idealistic…someone who can experience things for the first time along with you. I'm not always kind, and I have more faults than I'd care to name. All I can promise is that I'll want you until my last breath.

It's the perfect solution. We argue all the time. We can't stand each other. It's like we're already married.

Shock is a merciful condition. It allows you to get through disaster with a necessary distance between you and your feelings.
