I mean I'm kinda reminded of the last Wedding Harry went too.
--- Quote ---“Uh,” he said, somehow giving the impression that he’d shrugged. “A kiss ought to do it. You know. True love, Prince Charming, that kind of thing.”
“That won’t be hard,” I said, relaxing a little. “We’ll definitely get to the wedding before he goes off alone with Jenny and gets drowned.”
“Oh, good,” Bob said. “Of course, the girl still kicks off, but you can’t save all the people, all the time.”
“What?” I demanded. “Why does Georgia die?”
“Oh, if the Werewolf kid goes through the ceremony with Jenny and plights his troth and so on, it’s going to contaminate him. I mean, if he’s married to another, it can’t really be pure love. Jenny’s claim on him would prevent the kiss from lifting the spell.”
“Which means Georgia won’t wake up,” I said, chewing on my lip.

Of course that was for Faerie magic, not Whampire shenanigans, but I wouldn't be surprised if that'd break it. (though tbh the most likely scenario is Harry finding a way out of it somehow. Normally it takes at least one book for him to destroy a romantic relationship, but this time he's got a year to plan ahead)

It could be what Murphy felt for Harry was true love, that is what Nic was taunting her about in Skin Game as he beat the snot out of her. Harry did love her, but like he loved Susan? This time around he isn't allowing himself to go into a deep depression, he has a little girl to look after like he did when Susan left.

I've been wondering about that (because of the Justine-Thomas thing) but so far I had understood that protection only occurred with mutual True Love (that is why Harry was not protected with Luccio, who was mind-controlled). Still, I may be wrong.

Ya think Molly might break it up? I think she would if she could get away from it. Somehow I don't see the wedding happening, at this point I don't see it enhancing the over all story, but that's just my opinion.

I think that Mab knows Harry well enough that she knew he'd try to weasel out of this. So now he's gonna be forced to interact with both Lara and Molly a lot over the next year, giving plenty of time for him to either soften up to the idea, or plot an escape with a willing conspirator.
Either way probably works for her, so long as she both gets her alliance, and teaches Harry to stop being such a blunt instrument.

--- Quote from: ClintACK on October 07, 2020, 03:01:43 AM ---You didn't?
I mean, I think the paragraph ended just because Harry couldn't think of any more ways to say that Detective Bradley was very, very manly.
--- End quote ---
Well yeah, but Bradley never reciprocated.
--- Quote from: Dina on October 07, 2020, 06:33:34 PM ---That way he can even be married with Lara and still not have sex with her.
--- End quote ---
Strictly speaking, Lara can't feed on Harry. It might be possible for her to have sex with Harry and not feed.

:D

I'm pretty sure that's the case. It's why Jim said a parent's love for children does nothing. It's not mutual.

Yeah. If Harry finds a way out, it's probably by offering everyone a better deal.
