Sometimes, she thought that if Lisavet's House were to fall, if she'd lost all of her money and had nothing more than the clothes on her back, Marion would remain with her in squalor and be happy to do so, even if Lisavet could never love her the same. Even if they never saw the sunrise together, or spent an entire night entwined in the same bed. Even if Lisavet made her bleed until Marion teetered on the very brink of death. She would've done it gladly, and it would have been enough.
