In return, you must be aware that I am filled with affection at the mere mention of your name. You were the first gentleman who managed to charm me following graduation, and you continued to do so as we walked the halls of St. Mungo's together. If this adoration might have become known to me prior to the incident that saw my father arrested, I may have been able to return them in some manner of permanency. My feelings towards you will never be anything but warm, but to properly act on them would only prove to society that I am the woman they always believed me to be: a selfish, greedy woman who only pays mind to what she wants.

Perhaps I already am the woman society makes me out to be. I have held onto your heart, fully knowing that I cannot give you mine in return, and yet I recoil at the prospect of releasing it for another woman to claim. You are kind gentleman who has so much to offer a woman, but you must be with a woman who does not shame you and your family. The only thing I will ever have to offer is the warmth of my embrace, and that is not enough.
