  Summary

  Stede is 29. He is engaged to be married to a woman he’s never met.

  Mary Allamby is kind, and smart. She’s independent and spirited. She adores children and animals, and is friendly to everyone. She matches so many of the qualities that Stede had thought he’d want in a spouse when he was a child.

  He feels absolutely nothing.
