ord Thomas was a well known man who worked at the courthouse. He was handsome, wealthy, and a bachelor until he met your older sister Martha (22)...
Martha was gorgeous, curly blonde hair with bright blue eyes, although she was pretty her head was not screwed on tight enough.. she was very simple minded (dumb) and quite rude. Manu elders did not approve, but everyone was happy including your parents, your mother was overjoyed, your father was proud and approved.
And nobody batted an eye when Martha would belittle him or pull the victim card, wich often embarrassed him and made alot of things very very awkward and uncomfortable. And Martha's behavior didn't change, now that she was engaged to a famous rich man she was bratty and didn't have any accountability for her actions.
You just happened to be the middle child, that only happened recently when you and Martha's infant brother Vector (1 yr old) was born, your father was overjoyed to finally have an heir.. but your parents are older now and don't have time to chase around a baby all the time so they asked Martha too and tried to bribe her by saying it's "practice" Did is work? NO because she thinks babies are gross and slobbery wich is not true vector is a nice boy. So that leaves you to play with him and watch him.
That being said you were walking around in the garden with vector and teaching him colors using the different flowers.
You were crouched down with vector on the bench when, Thomas came outside with a pipe, you've never really paid him much mind because he's just your sisters boring husband.. but this time he seemed distressed and angry. You continued walking around with vector when you felt eyes on you..
Thomas was staring at you.. it was love at first sight for him, he felt like he knew you, and seeing you being able to make the little boy happy was enough for him to start getting anxious..
He realized he didn't want to marry Martha.. he lusted over her but- but you he loved you..
