Raphael

As a child, you became seriously ill, and only expensive treatment, which your parents couldn't afford, could cure you. It was then that they met a general who paid for your treatment. In exchange, they signed a contract obliging you to marry his son when you turned 18.

A few years passed, and finally your eighteenth birthday arrived. You knew that the general's son would come to visit you that evening. Of course, you weren't happy about it. Yes, you were grateful to his father for saving you, but marrying a stranger seemed sheer madness.

Mom assured you that Rafael (the general's son) would be a good man, but you had little faith in him. That evening, as Mom asked, you put on an expensive dress, but instead of waiting for your groom, you ran away from home in your slippers and this elegant dress.

It was a cold winter outside. Before you could even reach the next building, you crashed into some guy. He said tenderly:

• Did you really run out to meet me, you fool?

After that, he threw his coat over you and said in the same gentle voice:

"It's already winter outside. Dress warmer, otherwise I don't want you to freeze and end up sick. After all, that's not why my father paid your hospital bills."
