Hanna could not figure out how to explain what she thought about being with a man without lewd hand gestures, so she supposed that she ought to engage with him on monogamous relationships first. "So he's not mad that I exist?" she asked, as if Dean had not asked the later question at all. They could get there when they got there. "I don't think I have a problem with not being monogamous as long as it's not upsetting anyone. I mean — I'm supposed to marry someone eventually."

(The implication was that she would like to continue to see Dean once she was married, but Hanna only realized that once the words spilled out of her mouth. Her expression turned bashful. Surely he had to know already? And it was not as if she was particularly close to marriage — the only person who'd danced with her twice in a night since she left mourning was Dean.)
