"Because you deserve to be loved," David blurted out unexpectedly.

"Ah, Rosalind, I've told you before, Lysander and Thalassa are deeply in love, already blessed with two kids Their marriage is a joyful union. It's tto let go of Lysander. There are plenty of fish in the sea, you'll find someone right for you."
