Matilda, The Ugly, A Romance (Abridged) by Joanne Okano (Chapter Four continued)

     That was the order of things.  But they were too young.  That was another thing you think.  No they were too young because they hadn't been through those two steps.  Otherwise they weren't too young.  They were old, in fact,  on her side.  She was an old unwanted thing, they said.  No one wanted her, if you want to be brutally honest.  But here parents blank blank blank.  They blank blank blank blank.
     That's why she was on the run from them.  She wanted to marry him and she was going to have her way.  She needed to have her way, she thought.  But no, she needed to calm down and he needed to calm down, if it were a simpler situation, but it wasn't.  Such is life.
