Summary
No, no. She would dance to society's tune the way women of her social standing had always done, and find a suitable match to get the whole thing over with. Forget about engaging in passionate affairs similar to those between her brother Anthony and her new sister, Kate. Forget about looking for a person truly and wholly devoted to her, the way Daphne and Simon are to each other.
She would have to content herself with looking for someone who can make her feel... comfortable, perhaps.
At the very least.
Someone kind, her mind screams, even as she surveys the ballroom full of young, eligible men.
She steeled herself just as she noticed someone coming her way.
Please, please let him be someone kind.

Summary
“Hold on,” he says. “I want to hear the weather.”
“Of course,” Karen says, and Matt can’t really read her tone, but that’s—normal for him, so he just listens as Foggy Nelson, Channel Two’s beloved meteorologist, tells them all about the seven day forecast. He uses four different weather puns and Matt laughs at all of them, catching his breath and sighing when they cut to commercial.
“Matt?” Karen asks, then, when Matt turns back to her. “What’s the weather going to be like on Wednesday?”
Matt blinks, trying to remember.
“Uhm,” he says. “I guess I didn’t catch it.”
