"Will you marry me?" he asked.

What did you say?

I told him no twice. The third time I agreed..

Why did you agree the third time? What changed?

He was dying... wounded protecting me. It made him smile, and I knew it would.

It was out of obligation and appreciation, not out of love?

For a moment, anger flashed in her eyes, but she restrained herself. Her voice, however, was cold.

I don't know if I believe in love. Besides, better to say it out of appreciation and fondness than to have agreed the first time, when the only reason I was encouraged to accept was for political reasons.

Why don't you think love exists? Do you mean not for you, or not in life? Do you really want to tie yourself with a marriage bond because of appreciation and fondness alone? Do you want him? Political reasons have their place in life and in relationships, but there must be something more, as well.

He is dead, so what I want really does not matter.

I do not believe that love exists because I grew up in a political world. Further information is really not your business, Miss.

What you want always matters, no matter the circumstance.

There is love in politics. Some of the greatest political orators have held much passion, even if it were strictly a love for politics and political ambition. I am sorry that you feel that way, Cassandra.

When one cannot have what one wants, what one wants does not matter.

But one can still find happiness and peace. What one desires can change with the given conditions.

You presume much, to speak for what I should or should not do.

I speak Truth. What you choose to do with this is in your hands.

Of course you do. You seem to have a highly inflated opinion of yourself, as well as a lack of understanding that "truth" is not a proper noun.

I know where I fit and my capabilities. This does not mean that I think of myself highly. I am. Yes, that is how many believe it to be.

What ails you, sweetheart?

Thinking of someone from long ago.
