00:01You, my dear, have received an offer of marriage.
00:05A what?
00:06From an incredibly wealthy gentleman with an old and prestigious title.
00:10Good heavens, isn't that what dreaming is for?
00:13Believing in those things that you fear you might never have but want to continue hoping are possible.
00:17Having money enough and happiness, falling in love.
00:21I do not know his grace, or any grace for that matter.
00:25This family's happiness is worth every sacrifice.
00:27Then you mean to accept the Duke's offer?
00:31Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sight of God
00:35to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:40Is your name really Persephone?
00:43It is. Did you not think to ask?
00:45I had expected someone rather bonk in the tooth.
00:48So had I.
00:49Give the poor girl a chance.
00:51It's not her fault you've ended up with every man's idea of a perfect wife.
00:5624 hours into this ill-conceived marriage and my wife is already sobbing.
01:02This is never going to work.
01:03Adam!
01:04Ridiculous.
01:06He is so confusing.
01:09All part of his charm, Persephone.
01:11How did he come to have such extensive scars?
01:14There is so much I don't know about you, Adam.
01:17So much I don't understand.
01:19And that frightens me.
01:20I frighten you?
01:22I miss my family.
01:23They are so very far away.
01:24It sometimes feels as though I'll never see them again.
01:27You cannot go.
01:28How could she love someone who kept her prisoner?
01:31Do not lose hope.
01:32Happiness can be found even in dark times.
01:35Persephone doesn't get to be happy.
01:36That is the ending of the myth according to my youngest sister.
01:39But it is the ending of the tale according to you that matters most.
01:43I've seen enough people quit in my lifetime without witnessing the same thing again.
01:47I think she'll surprise you.
01:48Why did you decide to get married?
01:50At the time, it seemed like a good idea.
01:54Does it now?
01:55Adam is scarred in more ways than one.
01:58So what do I do?
02:00Please stay with me.
02:02If you will stay with me.
