"Isn't love something that can be developed over time? Even though I've known him for many years, we haven't really interacted much. He's good friends with my brother. He's handsome, has a nice voice, a good character, and is really interesting. We're well-matched in every way, and his parents like me a lot. In marriage, I won't have to live with grievances. Under the same roof, is it really so hard to come to like each other over time?"
"Don't say those things just to make me give up." Logan Moore's face was pale. "I know it's hard for you right now, so I won't pressure you. I'm giving you the time to handle it. Go to the registry again with him and call off the wedding."
"I can't do that," Lily Green refused. "Logan, I know full well what the consequences of being with you are. That's why I said we should part ways. Even if I didn't get married, the result wouldn't change. It's not just one mountain between you and me, it's a hundred."
