“Sure, fine. Whatever.”

Dude, did DG just channel Dana Scully there, or am I imagining things?

This is really very good, and I remain very, very interested in where you're going. I loved these lines: “Actually, that’s the short definition of being queen, dear.” and The silence spun out between them like taffy pulled past its stretching point.; wonderful interaction and description. I also loved the comparisons between the emotional tin suits our betrothed duo find themselves locked inside.

Nicely done all the way around.

I was just about to say the same thing.

I love all the awkwardness. I can't wait to see if they keep on getting more awkward or if DG tries to cancel the wedding because she doesn't want to trap him in another tin suit.

I'm with everyone else in just loving the way you handle the inherent tension of their situation. I mean: "So they walked to the kitchen in silence, two feet of space between them." just epitomizes the whole turn their relationship has taken.

I LOVED the comparison between royalty and tin suits! It fits so perfectly seeing as how DG's trapped in this duty to become queen and she can't escape no matter what she does.
I swear, poor girl's gonna have breakdown soon from all this guilt and stress she has 'cause the silence between her and Cain is so deafening!

Poor Cain and Jeb. Hopefully this won't totally ruin their realtionship.

Can't wait for the next bit!
