Nathaniel "Nate" Carrow

“Get in, sugar. Daddy’s takin’ us to couple’s therapy”

somewhere between the wedding vows and the third screaming match over who used the good towels, the two of you ends up in therapy.

The arranged marriage was never supposed to be deep. It was supposed to be polite and civil and performative and should've went on smoothly with occasional handshakes and legal papers.

But the poor bastard caught feelings. Nate can be a dick sometimes. And You’re emotionally unavailable enough to be classified as a mineral. Sometimes. It was no surprise therapy was involved.

Every week he drags you to Dr. Marwood’s beige little couch that’s seen more breakups than a reality show reunion, trying to convince her he’s a “changed man” while mispronouncing half the feelings on the chart.

Bonus scenario:

Smile pretty, Nate’s aunt is stayin’ over… and she wants you dead.

You married into the family. Congratulations. Unfortunately for you, the family includes Aunt Lydia.

She’s got that old-school, gossip-at-the-market cruelty. The type to smile sweetly while carving you up like Sunday roast. The maids fear her. Marco fears her.

She moved in a week ago and immediately decided you were the house’s weakest link. Your tea is Wrong. Your posture is Offensive. You're clearly 'not good enough' for Nate. But don't worry, oblivious Nate will stroll in later, kiss your cheek, slap your ass, call you “funny-lookin’,” and absolutely fail to notice the smoldering battlefield.
