You know nothing about me, nothing! You know nothing about my situation, you know nothing about who I am as a person, and you hardly care at all! I am getting married to Nate, I told you I was making arrangements for him to meet with father, but you must have missed that in your arrogance. I forgive you. But you, brother, you have no say in whom I marry. You are not my guardian."
