SADIE
You said forever and further!

 LORNA
It was a dream I got caught up in.
But you’re a princess and I run an inn.

 SADIE
That’s never mattered before.

 LORNA
Because it never mattered before!
But things change.
You have a duty.

 SADIE
To my father?
A madman who has butchered children over a snack?

 LORNA
To the people who for the first time have hope
So that they can have their own forever and further.

SADIE
You can’t ask me to choose between my love and their lives.

 LORNA
I’m not.
I’m telling you what I choose,
And I choose to love you enough, to break your heart.
