"I don't know. But his wife never listens to him," Arya said, and her tone was defensive. She didn't want this to somehow become about Ethan's terrible wife, when it should be about Arya and Ethan. "They got married when they barely knew each other, and before he realised what a manipulative bitch she was." Arya wasn't like that though, and that was why Ethan liked her so much. He said he loved how fun and easy she was, how being around her he could truly relax. Arya felt so special to be that for him.
