You're worried, aren't you, Teddy? You're worried that she's like a restless bird, someone who wants to fly away and leave you, to make Roxanne and Teddy become just Teddy – because you know she's flighty like that, don't you?
After all, she did come to you fresh out of Scorpius Malfoy's arms, didn't she?
You look around the scene of your sumptuous, exotic home on the Caribbean island of Barbados; you look across at Roxanne's sleeping in the far corner of the open plan apartment, wondering if she's really content with you.
After all, you're over a decade older than her, which has got to count for something in the books of someone as vain as Roxanne.
But you decide to hang on, because you're richer than anyone else in your extended family – even richer than Scorpius, which is saying something – and you're sure that the vanity and desire for riches will keep her with you.
You can love her as much as you want, but you know that the only thing keeping her here is your fortune…as much as it pains you to admit it, you know it is the truth.
