I need something else to concentrate on.

What do you do when you think you like someone?

How can you be sure?

And if you are sure, how do you proceed?

It's still a novel experience being able to act on my own as it is. I had a rather strict upbringing and had it made very clear, very early that my duties were to be a wife and bear heirs for a powerful man.

I don't mind. It's Snow White.

I understand that. Not your exact situation but that idea that there is a certain expectation for your life to go one way even when you have your own desires and wants for it to go another.

Oh, Snow? She is delightful! And has been a very good friend to me. I hope you two make each other very happy.

Yes. Mother wanted me to stay a perfect porcelain doll of a Society lady when that role was stifling me almost beyond hope.

She truly is. I'm glad the two of you are friends. And I'll do my very best to make sure she's as happy as can be.

I certainly hope you didn't give into her wishes. That sounds like it would have been a horrid fate for anyone to be pushed into.

Then I wish the both of you well. May you both find much happiness with one another despite the place we have found ourselves in.
