I was not very sociable, growing up. I had my studies and my science. And, in any case, I was the third-born child. I was in no rush to marry. Julius had that covered. And Vesper was engaged. I never really pursued anything. I was barely eighteen when the Briarwoods came. And then I was in a cell. And Anna was there. She hurt me in...many ways.
Not all torture is a matter of physical pain, as I am sure you are aware.
