“I’ll survive,” I replied. It was hardly the worst thing my mom had heard come out of my mouth over the years. If anything, she’d probably be disappointed by the idea I wasn’t intently pursuing women. Our mom gave the Bennet mother in Pride and Prejudice a run for her money. She was far too eager to see her kids in happy, meaningful relationships, and if we’d been born a few centuries ago, I had no doubt she’d have us all married off by now.
