"You clearly know this is connected to me, Elice. Everything from Garrett to Ariel, whether you like it or not, will connect you to me. It's your destiny. You cann’t do anything for that."

"I don't know if you feel arrogant or what, but believe me. I will not force you to marry Garrett unless circumstances force me to."

"At least you can see that clearly."

Elice felt her face suddenly stiffen at this sarcastic remark.
