I told you this was a romance novel and so far, all I've given you is mean ants, dying children, and stabbings.

You've been very patient with me.

But finally everyone, we have arrived to chapter 23 and with it to the romance part that I promised.

Rochester proposes, Jane says yes, and listen to some of these lines that Rochester lays on us.

Be my best earthly companion, make my happiness, and I will make yours.

Give me my name, your will shall decide your destiny, swoon.

Of course he has to be weird before the actual proposal.

Adele has gone to bed on their early side, plus it's summer in northern England, so it stays light out late.

Jane goes for a walk in the garden because it's gorgeous out.

She smells Rochester cigar and she tries to leave without being detected.

But he notices her and starts talking to her as if they're already in the middle of a conversation.

He does some last chance tap dance of manipulation.

He tells Jane I'm going to marry Blanchingram but don't worry, I'm totally going to find you a job taking care of five kids in Ireland.

You'll be fine.

And what's different this time from every other time he's manipulated her is that Jane resists all the fucking way.
