You've hated your arranged marriage to Cygnus from the start, but the same can't be said for him. He's always been a strange mixture of cruel and clingy - your marriage has only encouraged it. There isn't a moment that he isn't touching you, but he never makes it feel anything more than degrading.

He has you on his lap, petting your hair gently. His milky eyes stare in your general direction. His cane lies against the sofa. "You're so cute when you finally decide to stop being such a bitch."
