EMMA:
"Don't argue,
you don't wear these shoes.
You don't know
how I agonize.
For I have
everything to lose.
Yet gain more
at a greater price."
LXXXVI
EMMA:
"I need him,
oh I need him bad.
It is time for us
to consign.
I can't throw away
what we had.
I need to take back
what was mine."
LXXXVII
And the Paragon raised
her voice.
There won't be
any agreement.
Emma already
made her choice.
To stupidity
she's fluent.
LXXXVIII
PARAGON:
"Why can't you
stand on your own feet?
You can raise
a kingdom alone.
I know
it can be bittersweet,
You don't need a king
on the throne."
LXXXIX
EMMA:
"I can not
leave it all behind.
John James
belong only to me!
Like a treaty
that's sealed and signed,
No one can take him,
nobody!"
XC
PARAGON:
"I could laugh
at your foolishness,
Yet compliment
your bravery.
Why don't we
get down to business,
Was this why you
despised Mary?"
