Once Mina was back at the Lee mansion, Miss Ruby had Dom help her get comfy on the recliner in the sitting room and Ruby put on a movie for them to watch. It was a romance drama and Mina giggled mockingly the entire duration of the film. She was very good at ruining romantic moments and Miss Ruby was reminded of her daughter, Ellie.
"What is with you young women and your hatred for relationships?" she asked. "You were ready to die in the cold because of one simple misunderstanding, but I can tell that that guard likes you, why not give him a chance?" Mina rolled her eyes. She wanted to tell the woman the truth about why Dom was nice to her, but she knew how much the evil President Lee meant to the old woman, so Mina settled for a realistic answer.
"I will marry whoever my parents want me to," Mina said. It was not a complete lie, if she lived, she would do whatever her parents asked of her.
