And Caroline gets to have a happy ending. Or she gets to hope for one.
While the rest of us live with playing the cards we're dealt. Caroline is a Dentorian lady, not an heir, not her mother's favorite nor her father's scion. Caroline is just a Dentorian lady like any other, born and bred to be wed off to whatever man offers the highest bid for her dowry.
Some of us don't have the option to wait for our true loves to find us. Some of us don't get to play out our personal fairy tales. Some of us don't have family that's sympathetic to what we wish our lives could be like. We don't get to wait for our fantasies to come into being. We wed and we do what our husbands bid us and we die, all the time completely powerless.
How lucky for Caroline, that she's been granted that modicum of control over her own life.
