Her gran had been just about the kindest person Sookie had ever known, her voice soft and patient even when people called the house only to curse at her, to swear that she was going to fall to the deepest depths of hell. For her part, Sookie had never managed to take after her gran quite so much, and sometimes she wondered if she should give it a more sincere effort again.

Other times, she wondered if it was alright to be a bit selfish. More of a survivor than an altruist.

"And that's how the two of you are just gonna end up being the cutest married couple of all time," she concluded with a nod.
