Summary
"Oh, your preferences in women, huh... So, what did you tell her, Harada?"
“Well, it's kinda hard to tell someone, you know? It's not like you asking me about kimono patterns, or like how a sword is made, see what I mean? Plenty of times I thought a girl wasn’t my type, but I ended up falling for her anyway. The other way around, too.”

Summary
When Cullen was a lad, he was in love with Nancy the butcher's daughter, and he always thought that he'd win her one day by doing something dashing and impressive, like rescuing her from pirates or maybe single-handedly slaying a dragon. As a young Templar, moonstruck by an apprentice with a charming smile, he pictured himself sending little flowers and love notes and small treasures, a sweet, rose-tinted forbidden liaison. His dreams were all very romantic, and noble, and they involved very little blood, even when decapitating the theoretical pirates.
When he finally does meet the love of his life, reality does not live up to the romance of his imaginings.
