He laughed. “Alright, fine, you go first.” 

“Truth or dare?” I asked. 

“Truth seems safer,” he said. 

“Why did you try so hard to make things work with my sister?” I asked, a question I’d been wondering for 

some time. 

“Truthfully?” He asked. 

“That is the name of the game,” I said. 

1 wanted my parents off my back,” he said. “They hounded me for so long about finding someone and settling down and having kids so the Hatfield legacy could continue. So since a marriage seemed to fall into my lap, I thought it was the perfect time to try and make them happy.”

you’re just miserable?” 

“Well it did get me a pretty bitchin‘ house,” he smiled. “But you’re right. Life feels pretty pointless without love and happiness. Your turn. Truth or dare?”
