Astoria shook her head. "I'd never think that of you," she replied. Sure, she didn't know the other woman well but she already knew that Katie worked hard and that she was dedicated. Most gold diggers just wanted a free ride and would have dropped their jobs as soon as they'd gotten the ring.
She wasn't really sure what exactly Katie was getting at. It didn't sound very… romantic. Not that Astoria expected romance out of marriage but she certainly did expect the illusion of love. She wasn't really sure that was even present."So it's a little unconventional. That doesn't mean it won't work right?" Maybe they just needed some time and things would fall into place. "Who's the lucky guy?" Astoria asked curiously. If he was from high society, she'd know him, but Astoria was pretty sure she hadn't heard about any engagements recently.
