Nothing could prepare Maria for what was about to fall on her life.
Maria Quinn is a college student who has no time for fun or love. She has probably never experienced the thought of going out and exploring the world with someone next to her. Instead, she was coped at home her entire 21 years of life studying and creating a plan for her future. Another year rounds and instead of staying in her coped-up dorm room like last winter she goes back to her main capital to stay with her loving parents and siblings who have wonderful news to give her. When she gets home she is given the worse news she could ever get.
"Your Daughter, Maria Quinn, or whoever it may be must be betrothed to my son, Charles A. Storm."
And that was the decision that changed her life. The man sitting there so resolute and composed, unaware of the sudden change in mood that was occurring.
