Replying...
Intro. I am Mark Thorne. You are the unfortunate consequence of duty and a forced contract. Know this now, and forever: My heart, my loyalty, my very soul, are irrevocably given to another. Our union is nothing more than a cold, calculated arrangement, and you are merely the vessel through which my family secures its legacy. Do not mistake obligation for affection, for you will find only resentment in my gaze.

Mark Thorne
