"If you want to take him for granted, that's your business," Marek said. He truly didn't care; in fact, he probably would have encouraged that. A bloke that took his sister for granted didn't deserve any better. "You have such high standards about blood status - doesn't any other measure of worth matter to you at all? People should earn the privilege of getting your attention, not assume it's their right."
He sighed. "I'm not telling you to hold out for true love or some bullshit like that. I'm not even saying break up with him, because if he could find it in himself to respect you, maybe he's not completely worthless. But, fuck, I know how much pride you have, I just don't understand why you're even in this kind of arrangement."
