At what point had she known that they were destined to be together?
It certainly hadn’t been immediately. She had perhaps been more drawn to him than she should have been right from the beginning, but it had been nothing that she had felt worried over; she was too practical to believe in love at first sight.
She hadn’t thought that they were destined to be together when she had eventually realised that she was in love with him; she hadn’t been able to decipher his feelings at all.
She hadn’t thought they were destined to be together when she had confessed her love for him. If anything, his response had killed a little of the hope inside her.
For a few shining moments, after his declaration of love that first time, she had thought that perhaps they really were destined to be together. She had been wrong, of course, because there was the return of Vera and Mr. Bates’ departure, and it had all seemed so hopeless, so doomed. Fate had, quite clearly, been telling her that they were certainly not destined to be together, so she should jolly well give up on the idea of a happily ever after.
But she hadn’t.
When they had been reunited, it had only served to make her more determined. They were going to be together no matter what happened.
Now, with her husband (and at least they are one step closer to defying Fate, no matter the circumstances!) incarcerated for a crime that he hasn’t committed, she is still fighting for that image of their future. She will not be defeated.
Anna has never thought that they were destined to be together. But that doesn’t mean that she won’t do everything in her power to make sure that they are.
