"I meant that the whole idea of putting yourself forward as a bride was romantic. The idea. I don't care if you don't believe romance will be involved or not. It's a happily ever after tied in a bow scenario if I ever heard one. I don't care if you think you are offering anything of yourself but a name but you are naïve to think that is all you are offering." He ended in a hiss.
