[Margaret's Perspective]
But at this moment, Donald said it to me.
Instantly, I was extremely touched.
Keep in mind that the mark on the body was permanent. It would always bear witness to the fact that you once had a kindred spirit and that you belonged to another. Even if your partner died, it wouldn't change that. The mark would stay on your body. If you wanted to break up with your partner and find a new partner, the original mark wouldn't disappear either. It would even spontaneously resist and dislike the aura of the new partner. It was a mark engraved in the soul that could never be removed.
So everyone would say, "Your mate might not be for life, but the mark would be."
And choosing someone to mark was also the best proof of your promise of love and loyalty.
