"That's when he met Ruth Anne Chestnut. Compared to the other candidates, Ruth Anne was not the prettiest, though she was rather lovely. Her family was not the wealthiest, though they were never in need. And they weren't even magical, everyone else in her family thought magic was gone from the world. What made Ruth Anne special was that she did believe magic was still real. That she dreamed of bringing magic back to the forefront to help the world. She has even been credited with the shift in the company's manifest, in that she's the reason we use magic and science together for things like the Ley Line dynamo, heater and freezer."

"Wow, that's pretty incredible."

"Yes, among the 'Wives of Rorek', as the family thinks of them, Ruth Anne Chestnut Null is perhaps the most remarkable of them. Not that my grandmother, who happens to be simply named 'Ruth', isn't incredible herself. But I'll get to her and Grandfather Rorek momentarily.

"The story of Ruth Anne and Rorek the Fifth was rather sweet, at least the way I've heard my family describe it. There are details that sound like they were taken from Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast."

"As in, those fairy tales?"

"Yes, exactly," you say. "There was a ball, and all families with eligible daughters were invited. But the way Ruth Anne herself was, her personality seemed very much like Belle. She was intellectual and eager to learn, and also very kind and understanding. She knew who Rorek the Fifth was, and at first assumed he was snobbish and uptight. But then she met him in town while running errands and saw his modesty and charity and gave him a chance. Also, she marveled at how he was a real life wizard, like she always dreamed of meeting, so that helped.

"Of course, similarly to the story of Cinderella, the Null Family tried to steer the Fifth towards the wealthier and stronger families, and there are footnotes that friends and closer relatives like siblings and cousins tried to steer him towards the most beautiful choice, but the Fifth would not listen. He fell in love with Ruth Anne's genuine concern for others, and her genuine feelings for him, and that was that. The other families were greatly upset, but the Null family accepted his choice."

"And they lived happily ever after, right?" Raven smirks.

"Naturally."

"So... How do you think I'd do?" Raven asks with a shy yet curious look up at you.

"How do you mean?"

"Let's say your family had brides lined up for you, and then they met me," she says, looking down at her knees. "Do you think your family would accept me as an option or would they insist on their choice?"

"That's quite a heavy question for us only just meeting yesterday," you say with a nervous laugh. "But to answer it..."
