I am not married to him. Our ceremony had not even taken place by the time I was taken from Rainesburg and sent to Holly Heights. And then I was sent here.
[And her world was apparently gone??]
I do not know what it is like for other princesses and perhaps I am over-complicating things. I have been told before by Eugene that it would have been much better for me if only I were a fool.
[But she doesn't intend to be some kind of ornamental princess.]
[But she hasn't even told him about her friend Robert, the paranoid assassin yet.]
How so?
[As far as she was aware, dicks didn't make sounds??]
It is the place I was in before I was brought here. I had been taken from my own home, Rainesburg, and then brought to another world. That was Holly Heights.
So you're one of those people, huh . . . I've got some other friends like that. I mean people who went from home to somewhere else before here. It's like there's a whole universe out there of different people screwing with us, huh?
[What a thought. Not something he ever would have considered before the entire experience of this place, and it's not exactly comforting. He sighs again.]
And any guy who's all about girls who can't think for themselves is probably a creep too.
It does seem like that sometimes. But at the same time, I am quite grateful that I was taken from Rainesburg, actually. I have met many wonderful people and have been able to experience things I never would have been able to otherwise.
[This is a win in her books.]
And I could not say, exactly, about Eugene. But I do not believe he meant it quite like that. [She's pretty sure if he wanted to say that women should just never think for themselves, he probably would have actually said it.]
But I do not think there is such a thing as being too nice. Sincerity begets sincerity, that is what I have always believed. It is like how we are speaking now, is it not? You are listening and you are taking me seriously, helping me just as you said you would. I like it when it is like that.
You are. And I am glad that you are here, Leon. Although I do not quite agree that not everyone is a good person. Scared and doubting and occasionally unthinking, perhaps. But there is good if you look for it.

[Shortly. Man. Poor Veronica knows a lot of dickheads; maybe nice girls like her attract them, which is very unfortunate.]
. . . What's Holly Heights?
