Comments

[indissection]

A small smirk.

"Your lie was reading, not speaking, dear Isaac."

[wythersake]

"That ought to make the next round easy. Whose hearts have you broken, then?"

The proposals.

[indissection]

"My own, of course. I doubt many were truly devastated to have been rejected - but my mother has the control of those. I am at her mercy, so to speak."

No need to discuss anything to do with the specifics; that might be incriminating.

"Do so few pass her muster?"

[indissection]

[indissection]
