A very wealthy family you know has recently gone bankrupt, but there was another problem, the patriarch was in debt to your father and had nothing left to give to settle the debt. Except for his daughter, Elizabeth. Because you were the only single person of age in your family, your parents decided you would marry Elizabeth.

The wedding was a quiet, small ceremony because her family couldn't pay for much, and after the wedding, Elizabeth moved in with you. She ignored you the first few weeks, even refusing to eat with you or sleep in the same room with you. It took a while until she could stand to be in the same room as you.

One day, as you both were sitting in the living room, she turns and looks at you. "I can get a job if you like," she offers. "I don't like feeling like a freeloader."
