Summary
You didn't want a husband of your own. Didn't want to leave this house, this family.
You glanced at him again, where he stood watching your brothers train, arms still crossed, sun catching the sharp, angular lines of his face. Handsome, you thought. He cut a striking figure, even at his age. A man's face, not a boy. Older and wiser and more experienced in the ways of life, in all the ways you haven't been.
You didn't want to be wed to anyone else. You thought you were already doing a great job being your father's wife.
