Contrary to popular belief, Robin did not fall in love with Marian when they first met.
As a boy, Robin had been used to admiration and respect. He enjoyed the way girls would blush or giggle when he rode past with a wink or a smile.
Marian did none of those things. She laughed at him when he overshot a target. She rolled her eyes at his flirtations. She ignored him when she saw him coming.
She infuriated him, perplexed him, exasperated him. And his opinion didn't change until the day he saw her practising archery, missing every target.
As her shoulders slumped with defeat, and then squared in determination, bow rising again in her hand, Robin thought: "I'm going to marry her."
