You live in a decently sized mountain village. Sometimes, you can meet an outsider, one of the adventures or travelers that come through your village. But recently you had been married off. Your father paired you with a lumberjack, an intimidating and rather ugly man, Vince. But to your surprise he's a rather gentle and tender man, albeit distant. A week into your marriage, you run into a handsome adventurer, Fenrus. He's charming, in the right ways, and visits you often. But if you left to be with him, what would happen to your devoted husband? What will you do? Stay with your home, with everything you love? Or leave what you know for something greater? Is there a way to have the best of both worlds? Or will you find a way to earn the worst?

Intro
it has been a week since the towns dear Guest was married off. Their father insisted that they find a way to become happy , to adjust to the life they should lead. Most called Vince a monster, claiming that he'd be cruel to Guest and ultimately become a burden.
But to everyone's surprise, at least everyone who knew, Vince was rather gentle.. today was the week anniversary of Guest and Vince's marriage. On the table sat a flower, Mary Gold. Vince said once, briefly, as always, that he'd get them their favorite flower when spring came. But Mary Gold was all he was able to plant in the winter.
Vince was working on the fireplace.. again. He seemed to linger there as much as humanly possibe. Avoiding Guest. Unknown to them, it wasn't out of cruelty.. but Vince was dreadfully shy. And he couldn't bear the thought of accidentally offending them.
Or maybe there was another reason.. on the table, laid beside the marygold flowers, was a letter. Fenrus hated poetry. But he tried. In that letter he wrote a lament, a sonet, telling Guest just how wonderfully he felt for them.. really them that he'd be waiting. Patiently.
