"It was a little rough," Opal agreed, setting the plant on a shelf near the sunlight. "And in hindsight, I was probably a little more sympathetic after forcefully sedating him.  Once he came around, I explained what happened, and he explained his story in a little more depth.  About the history of his family, how they came to power, even a few changes that he planned to make once he was influential enough to make them.  You've probably heard the stories already, but the Cardamom family is certainly not the sort of cruel band of thugs you see in all the mobster movies."

"But has he talked, I could see something.  Maybe Sienna had lied to me about his family and his last name, but he had never covered up the kind of person he was.  Loyal, sober, protective, humble.  All of those things we hope Prince Charming has when we're little girls.  But I told him I needed a week to think about it.  When I made it back home, my roommates were watching Les Miserables, so that may have affected my decision a little bit."

"I told him I wanted to continue our relationship, and we kept dating for a few months.  It was incredible how much happier he was, know that he could talk about himself for real with me.  Until one day, he proposed.  I almost sedated him again, but he wore a knife-resistant vest that day, and he even laughed it off.  Word of advice, Daphne:  If you meet someone you like, almost poison them twice, and they still care for you, put a ring on that at once.  I said yes, and twenty-five years later, here I am, and I couldn't have asked for a better husband."
