Marriage
"How are you expected to get married?"
Her question almost threw me off guard. She had been asking me questions for hours, waiting until I didn't have a response for her.
"Well, I can't."
"Why not?"
"First, I'd break the hearts of too many maidens. Second, it would mean settling down."
"That's a bad thing?"
"I love my job."
She rolled her eyes.
"But I also don't want to marry just any girl," I continued. "I will only marry the girl who is able to steal my heart."
"But what if you didn't steal hers?"
My only response was silence.
