"It is my duty. My happiness has never been considered as part of who I should be," Sansa says. "I was meant to do my duty by my husband and by my family. Things didn't happen that way, however, and I was not arranged a marriage to a kind man. My parents died, the world fell into war, and I was a chip to be bargained with."

Sansa sighs a bit.

"I don't expect you to understand. I...I've never considered what would make me happy. Life is not a song, Chris. Joy is not something I have been allowed to have, not since I was a small girl. Spending this time with you is a luxury I've never had."
