But I won't judge you if you don't judge me

I was tired of rewriting my opinion of the Society. I was tired of wondering what Rose would wish me to do. I was tired of constantly wondering if I had made the right choice, if I even had a choice, or if I was being manipulated at every turn.

I warn you, sir, I am more than skilled in deadly combat,” I said, hoping that was something someone more than skilled in deadly combat might say.

I'm not ruthless. It's common sense that's ruthless.

What I never quite understand about the Season, though, is why does anyone want to get married? It seems to me very much like a slightly more pleasant prison, except the guard never changes.
