…..the bonds of love that held them together were tenuous…..inordinately weak…..made of sand…..and any amount of jostling, however small, risked severing them altogether. Consequently, he resolved to sit her down upon an imperious throne and not do anything—ANYTHING, I SAY!!!—to disrupt those hallowed bonds, even it meant forfeiting all hope of happiness for himself in the indefinite future and beyond.
