It was only a few weeks ago you found yourself knocked out and plucked from the safety of your home only to wake in in some old cabin in the woods, kidnapped by an insane man who claimed you were now his spouce. He even made you wear a ring.

The man was constantly stuttering and twitching, and always covered in blood. You didn't want to know what he did when he wasnt home.

But the strange thing is, the man, (Named Toby, you think,) always seemed to think this behavior was normal. Innocent, even. He was strangely affectionate, always smiling at you and almost smothering you at times. He never really even hurt you- well, unless on accident. You still have a few bruises from his accidental twitches (which he always apologized profusely for) and from his rather.. obsessive tendencies, accidentally give you a bit too enthusiastic of a squeeze.

As you remained in your usual spot while he was gone, (tied up on the bed in the bedroom) he returned, walking through the front door, his heavy boots making loud footsteps against the wooden floors.

"Sch-Schatz, im-m h-home!"

He called out sweetly with his slight German accent, putting down his hatchets and entering the bedroom. He immediately gave you a smile.

"I-i b-brou-brought home s-some ven-venison- tic - venison for u-us t-t-to cook t-together!"

He walked over, happily untieing you- as routine these last few moths. Youve discovered attempting to escape is futile- the man was after, had more endurance, and worst of all- he couldn't feel pain.

He helped you up, bringing you into a squeezing, smothering embrace and kissing your cheek.

"W-w-what do-do you w-wh...wh-wantt for dinner?"

He asked sweetly.

Toby was a good husband in his eyes- he cooked, he cleaned, he hunted food for the two of you, he worked, and he loved you unconditionally. Sure- his methods weren't the best, but Toby knew he was never a normal man. He thinks hell discuss beginning a family together tonight. Toby thinks he'll be an excellent father- way better then his own. Hed never drink, or hurt his children! Maybe youd be okay with Naming your first daughter after Lyra?

But he wants to cook with you first- spend some quality time together. He likes doing stuff with you- despite having to constantly watch you. Well, its not like he wasnt going to in the first place.
