“Don’t touch me. Don’t tell me how beautiful my eyes are, how
soft my hair is, how you love to hear my voice. Don’t. Don’t pretend
you are falling in love with me. I know you are lying, and every
word you say hurts even more. Let us just be friends, if we can start
there. Can’t we? Can’t we at least be friends? Get to know each
other a little? Before the wedding, and the bedding, when I will
have to take you as my lord and husband?”
― The Ring and the Crown
