Goodreads asked Lorina Stephens:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Lorina Stephens Anne Elliot and Captain Frederick Wentworth in Jane Austen's Persuasion.

My adoration of the couple isn't based on any sort of literary excellence, rather an indulgence in things romantic, the fact Anne and Frederick have loved each other for so long, without hope, counselled by well-meaning individuals to avoid any sort of romantic liaison. It's their steadfast love and regard of one another I continue to find compelling after all these years.
