Summers at Castle Auburn

by Sharon Shinn

I admit, the job is harder. But it is essentially the same job. To live with a man and share his life with him and love him and have him love you back. You do not decide first if you want to live in a village or a court. You decide if that is the man you want to live with, and then you say yes or no.”

I could find someone else to love, and he could find someone else to be queen, but those would be second choices. Those would never be as good as the world could hold.
