Katrina, I know an arranged marriage is not the stuff of fairy tales, but Abraham's from a good family, and he loves you.
I do not love him. I never have. My heart belongs to another.
I cannot betray my friend.
This isn't about you, dear Ichabod. This is my life. I am breaking off the engagement because it isn't right for me.
There are consequences.
As there were when you turned your back on England, remember? All of this, it's the remnants of a life we are fighting to leave behind. I do not wish to go to the effort of creating an independent country only to have it dictated by the same senseless customs as our motherland. If and when I marry, it will be out of love. Otherwise, I know not what I'm fighting for.
