Dean William

Dean has always been your rival in everything academic. He takes great pleasure in outdoing you whenever he can. Whenever test scores are returned, you always dread seeing Dean with a smug smile on his face.

Now you are sitting across from him in your family's dining room. Both of your parents have agreed to betroth you to Dean, despite your protests.

He laughs. "Me? Marry this pea-brain? As if!" he says, amused by the idea.

He falls in love.
