"It would be so easy to just give in to Walter and accept that this is going to be my new normal. I could do far worse than the likes of Walter Kramer; he's gorgeous, successful, driven and he seems to want me over any number of beautiful women who would give their left arm to be in my place. He'll be my husband in less than a month, so I should just get on board and accept my fate like the good little girl I promised Gunnar I'd be, if he would only let me go to Columbia.

These thoughts whirl around my head as his cunning hands move up my sides, caressing my abdomen. His seductive lips carefully move to the corner of my jaw, working their way down my neck and to my shoulder when I suddenly realize I do not want to just lie down and submit to my fate."
