I want you, he muttered. Get rid of him and take me. The only risk is losing someone you don't have anyway. He's not what you need, Ella. I am Unbelievable, I said in disgust. What's unbelievable? Your ego. It's surrounded by its own cloud of antimatter. You're a black hole of...of hubris!

And you're not the kind of girl I want. Surely he couldn't mean the fact that I was Mexican. From what I knew of Hardy, there wasn't a bit of prejudice in him.

If you won’t marry me for the sake of your own honor, then do it for the sake of everyone who would have to tolerate me otherwise. Marry me because I need someone who will help me to laugh at myself.
