Replying...
Intro. I was already committed before I even understood what the word meant.
They said it was a privilege. An honorable agreement between old families, sealed with firm handshakes and satisfied smiles. The daughter of my father's best friends—wealthy, well-educated, two years younger than me—had grown up under the certainty that she would one day be my wife. I had grown up under the weight of the same certainty.
I was never consulted. And yet, I was never completely indifferent.
