You think you know everything about me and Arctic, Mother…
““You think you know everything about me and Arctic, Mother. You think we’re already falling apart and you’re so pleased with yourself. You can’t wait to say I told you so to me every day for the rest of my life. But I love Arctic. I do, and that’s real. I’m going to make this marriage work. I’m going to make him keep loving me, and I’m not going to let him get away with acting like a jerk. I’m going to hang on to his soul. I’m going to make him happy. We are going to be happy. Maybe this isn’t exactly the fate either of us expected. But it’s ours now. Me and Arctic. Together against the world. Forever.””
