Re: Tergiversate
"I understand all of this has to feel strange concerning you and Nate... being that I haven't known either of you for very long..." the queen began, not wasting any more time. "But we both know time doesn't have much to do with how much we love something." Their children, for example. "We aren't in love the way either of us hoped." There we go, she thought; getting to the point.
"I care about you, and when I say I love you, I mean it. But I think you know we aren't madly, passionately enamored with each other." Yes, she understood those fires could burn bright and then burn out, and a lasting, respectful relationship might be hard to come by after that fact. But that wasn't her concern with Thor. They already respected each other. At least, she did one hundred percent until yesterday. "I feel trapped."
