" Only, love was a sort of promise too. The words were different, but surely the bond was no less strong. I felt it weighing on my heart, not always in the bad way, mind you, and I imagined she must too. Which meant she felt both of her obligations pulling at her, all the time. I wanted her to be free to choose, but I wanted her to choose me, and I didn't see how that was going to happen unless there was some sore of miracle. "
