Fics like we should move somewhere beautiful

“What did Mr Hayward actually say, Mr Ryder?” she huffed, all worries about being rude out of the window. Mr Ryder had the decency to look ashamed as he spoke. “He said that he would be in need of a wife for the chambers to take him seriously for promotion. It’s a question of status as much as anything, you understand. Tom said that…well, that it didn’t much matter who the wife was as long as they were vaguely tolerable.” Mary felt her nose twitch. Her hands had balled into fists under the table in her lap. “...Vaguely tolerable?” aka: ryder is getting a bit desperate, so he tells a white lie to dissuade mary from tom. naturally, it only brings them closer (after a few tears are shed)
