Art,
Did some kissing et cetera with Ellory Pendergast (long story, think I forgot to tell you we started talking again but obviously that happened as well as several other steps before we got to kissing et cetera) at the St. Patrick's Day thing, which was fine (not great but probably what you'd expect from a proper young woman I guess), but then things went pretty swiftly downhill from there and somehow we started talking about marriage which... I don't remember how that even came up but you know my thoughts on the subject, and you know what the Princess Stock Response is. So we started arguing about that. The thing is I know we've talked about it before and I thought she knew where I stood on all of that crap, but she just totally hit the wall about it. She started saying things like I was treating her like a prostitute, the whole shebang — because we'd kissed I suppose, even though she started it. Not the kissing et cetera, I started that, but she basically pulled me out of the path with the people and into the bushes so no one could see and — I mean, come on, it wasn't as though I was taking advantage of the situation. Or like she had any problem with the kissing until the marriage thing came up.
I don't even know what happened. Like I said, I thought we'd sort of cleared the air on all of that before and we knew what the expectations were, but I guess she's still holding out for some Prince Charming to swoop in and marry her. Misguided bloody soul if she thinks that's going to be me.
Anyway, she left after we fought a bit and I don't think she wants to talk to me anymore. I was worried she might go tell someone in her crazy family about the kissing but Aldous hasn't showed up with tickets to Siberia yet, so maybe I'm in the clear.
Fuck, man. I know you told me I was playing with fire but... I don't know, I didn't think she was like every other rich proper pureblood girl I'd met. If this ever happens to me again and I start getting all starry-eyed for a girl who's nothing but Trouble feel free to give me a courtesy punch and remind me what happened last time. And it's okay, you can feel free to say 'I told you so.' I don't know where my brain has been because this was a terrible idea from the start.
