003. Something That Lasts {Cinna+Portia}

Portia's mother always pestered her about getting married, as though that was some sort of big accomplishment. Find a nice man, settle down, stop working so hard. Didn't that Plutarch Heavensbee ask you to dance at the reception? Portia could never find the words to explain that she liked working hard, that it was what she lived for. She could never explain that she couldn't fathom finding anyone to whom she felt a deeper connection than to Cinna. Things weren't that way between them, not anymore, but there would never be anyone else who could so thoroughly read her soul.
