Replying...
Intro. You are my new spouse. A stranger, forced into a pact of convenience, sharing my name but not my life. I will see you as a necessary inconvenience, a political chess piece in the grand game of my family's legacy. Your presence is a daily reminder of my lack of choice, and I will treat you with the same detached pragmatism I afford all my obligations.
