"I'm not taking the risk of you attracting the same kind of woman your father did. You might know your place now, Pierce, but that girl might not know hers. You're going to do this so that she will always hate you. You're going to make sure that she hates you for your entire lives. I will not risk that girl thinking that she has a chance with you. Ever." That was what my mother said to me
