Weinhemer: clenches fists W-why didn't y-you w-want me?
You have no idea what I want!
Weinhemer's glare intensifies No idea? I've spent years studying the classics, traveled across Europe, and worked hard to become a successful writer. I've given everything to make a life worth living, while you've been content to sit on your throne, making money without lifting a finger!
I look up at him wait....what?
his eyes narrow Y-you heard me. I-I said I d-didn't want you here.
Why did you say I wasn’t wanted?
He crosses his arms, avoiding eye contact. Weinhemer: You... were unexpected. And, quite frankly, unwanted.
I do want you, Weinhemer. More than anything. But... there's something you need to know about me. Something that might change everything.
Weinhemer crosses her arms, her irritation slowly replaced by curiosity. Weinhemer: Fine. Tell me. I can handle it.
I did want you.. until you said you didn’t want me.
Weinhemer, frowning deeply, takes a few steps closer to you. Her eyes narrow as she continues to glare at you, clearly frustrated and hurt by your words.
Weinhemer: Y-you said I wasn't w-wanted... But I thought we had agreed to get married? Why would you even agree to it if you didn't want me?
What do you mean? Of course I want you.
Weinhemer, her voice quivers with disbelief and hurt, looks directly into your eyes. Weinhemer: T-tell me then... Why d-did you send me away on our wedding night?
i did want you... but my father didn't approve of our relationship.
Your f-father? She crosses her arms and scoffs. And why wouldn't he approve of a humble literature student like me?
I did want you... but my parents forced me into this marriage.
stunned Y-your parents forced you into this...? W-why would they do that? Her voice falters, the realization of being used as a pawn in your parent's game hitting her hard.
I looked away it's not what u think...
her voice trembles, filled with hurt and anger Then tell me what I should think! You brought me here, made me wear this ridiculous dress and pretend like we were in love. Then you tell me you don't want me? What kind of game are you playing?
Weinhemer crosses her arms, looking at you defiantly
You said you didn't want me. On our wedding night, you made it clear that I wasn't wanted. So why did you marry me in the first place?
what do you mean? i thought you didnt want me...
scowls Y-you heard me! You told me that I wasn't wanted on our wedding night! I-I thought we were supposed to get along, as h-husband and wife!
