Everyone wants her to marry Rupert! The next time she wants a dog, she can get it as a gift for herself. SIMON AND SOPHIE CORRESPOND. And oh yeah,

“All the same, I wish you wouldn’t say that I can do better than Rupert. It’s unfair to him, and there’s nothing wrong with him. I just don’t love him!”

“Well I should hope not,” Simon said emphatically, though I detected (or maybe hoped) I saw something of relief in his expression. Just for a moment. “Otherwise I’ve been making a terrible mess of things.”

SIMON CHESTER, SHUT UP WITH YOUR STUPID SELF. (Never shut up.) Plus,

“For such an astute observer of human nature, I should think that would be fairly clear.”

“I didn’t want to be wrong,” I said, hoping he couldn’t feel my pulse skip. “Not about this.”

“You could do better than me too, you know.”

“I could do worse,” I said lightly. “And I’m not sure I want to do better. That has to count for something, right?”

SOPHIE COULD DO BETTER THAN EVERYONE BECAUSE SOPHIE IS THE BEE'S KNEES BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO BETTER AND THAT COUNTS FOR EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
