I can't pretend that this isn't happening anymore. I need to talk to Charles I guess but it just seems like if I do that then I have to accept that I'm going to have to marry a boy I barely know. Not that Charles seems like a bad guy from what I've seen but ~~he's not Josh~~ I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Private to Charles
I'm supposed to ask you if you would like to spend Hogmanay with my family. Personally, I'd like to spend a little time getting to know each other a bit more. This engagement thing still feels weird to me but if we're going to do it I want to get to know you better.

Private to Annie and Ava
Ugh. I'm engaged and I can't shake this crush on Josh. Stupid family. Not that he would like me anyway.

Secret Santas were a fab idea. Major props to the mastermind and her minions for this one.

I'm not sure who I want to strangle for doing this to me without telling me. I mean, I get it. I guess. Mum is still going to do whatever the grans and the aunts tell her to after the whole pregnant out of wedlock thing but I'm not very happy that I'm the one who ends up having to pay for it.

Charles seems like a good sort. Don't get me wrong. But I wanted to choose my future husband. You know?

It's still total shite that they did it without even telling you. You shouldn't have to pay for it. I'm afraid what this means for the rest of us too, you know? Like will they just try to betroth Bastien and me without telling us too? I know the situation is a little different, but [...] it just seems like in this day and age we'd be able to pick our own destinies.

I can't claim to know him very well either. I hope that he's nice and that you two can get along well, you know? I really hope it works out. But I completely understand what you mean about wanting to choose for yourself. I'm surprised that Mother and Father haven't demanded that I break up with Nocturne already. Not that I've told them...but Bast knows so I figure he would have by now.

Why does it all have to be so complicated?

I think that for now at least you two are safe. Aunt Morag didn't rebel like my mum did so they probably think that you and Bast will be better when the time comes as well. Honestly, I think that they're worried that I'm going to go off and do something crazy like my mum did. Which proves just how little they actually know about me since we both know I never go off half cocked.

I keep telling myself that maybe I'll find that I really like Charles and that the freaking out I've done will have ended up being pointless. And at least he's good-looking, right?

As for Nocturne, I wouldn't worry yet. Just because the grandmothers and aunts got together this hare brained scheme regarding my future doesn't mean that they'll do anything to you. And, if they do I will do whatever I can to help change their minds for you, okay?

Because I think the grown-up world is way more complicated than any of us really want to consider.

They already know I don't like playing by their rules. That's one of the reasons that I'm worried. I don't fear paying for my mum's mistakes...just my own. Not that I plan to go out and do anything without thinking it through first, but my idea of a good life and theirs is different.

Who knows? Maybe you will. Maybe he'll prove to be more than just good-looking, but a good person to be matched to.

I appreciate the help if it comes to that, but...I won't go with anything they want me to do. I know I won't, even if it makes them crazy mad. After I'm seventeen...I don't know that I'm going to go back there. Ever.

It would be nice if it was just simple.

	You know me, Aza, I don't like making waves. Maybe I should make more but it doesn't really feel like me. I have some hope that he will. I understand you not coming back but don't forget me and mum. We love you for who you are. It would be nice. Really, really nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. I just want to make sure you're happy...that you get to do what you want with your life. I won't forget you two. I promise!!! (Reply to this) (Parent)
