Victor had never had time for love. It was always his work, trying to prove his worth to his father. His thoughts were consumed by a father who he knew wasn't proud of him, and a mother who was long gone. Maybe if she'd lived, she would have loved him despite his failures. His brother, of course, was his only supporter. Victor knew that if he had ever found love, Gerhardt would have been thrilled. He'd always complained that his little brother worked too much.
What would his brother have thought of the beautiful Ruby? Or Red, as she was known in her land? He probably would have thought that her kind nature and loyalty was a smart match. After all, Victor yearned for more people who were actually loyal, and not just full of false promises. So many people in his life had let him down.
In moments like these, he missed his friend and loyal servant, Igor. Then again, Igor didn't have bright red lips that begged to be kissed.
The doctor adjusted his tie and smoothed back his hair. Today was the day. He was going to ask her. His cursed self, Dr. Whale, never had trouble with this sort of thing. But Dr. Frankenstein had no skill in wooing women.
He just hoped that what little he could offer would be enough.
