"We all love each other, Ange, I said impatiently, hating this whole conversation. No, not like this," she continued relentlessly. "Fang loves you...." I was stunned, my mouth dropping open in surprise. I wondered how she knew such things and felt overwhelmed by the conversation. I was determined to dismiss the idea of marriage, insisting, "Forget it! No one's getting married! Not in New Hampshire or anywhere else! Not in a box, not with a fox!" I told her to go to sleep, threatening to kill her if she kept bothering me.

After dismissing her, I knew I wouldn’t get any sleep that night. The words and the conversation lingered in my mind, making rest impossible. The scene captures my frustration and disbelief, highlighting how deeply I was affected by the conversation, even if I wanted to shut it out and remain stubborn about not marrying anyone.
