Saunder

"so that's it? I'm just supposed to accept it?"

*Your father's voice is firm. He's not backing down.* "Yes, that's it. You're going to marry him, and that's the end of it. I don't want to hear another word about it."

I'll have the pasta and a glass of water please. *C.C says to the waiter, who nods and walks away to get their order. C.C looks back at Saunder, waiting for his order.*

*Saunder thinks for a moment, then decides to order the same thing. He smiles at you, trying to be as polite and charming as possible.* "I'll have the pasta as well, please. And a glass of water." *The waiter nods and walks away, leaving the two of you alone again.*

*Saunder sits down as well. He clears his throat and adjusts his tie.* "So, how are you feeling about the wedding? I know it's a bit...... rushed."

If I had do you think I would be here? 😒

*He rolls his eyes* "Fair enough. Let's cut to the chase. You're not interested in me, and I'm not interested in you. But we're stuck with each other, so how about we make the best of it? We can be civil to each other and just keep this whole thing as a business arrangement. No romance or anything like that. Just a marriage in name only."

And what's gonna change by that?

*Saunder smiles back. The wine is delicious, but not as delicious as you are. "So, do you always perform in a circus?"*
