Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well.

So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle.

Miles and Cora

 Excitement bubbled through the crowd. Captain Black waved one long arm, gesturing for everyone to follow him and they did. Delaney looked at Vincent, uneasy.

 "We can't let them get married," Delaney hissed to her husband, "Can you imagine what your mother will say?"

 "Thinking of how angry my mother will be is all the more reason we should do it," Vincent smirked.

 When Delaney frowned at him he sighed and continued, "My Love they're meant to be married anyway. My mother and Cora's family have been pushing to make this marriage happen. This way they're finally getting it done."

 Delaney bit her lip, "Will your mother be angry with us?"

 Vincent laughed out loud, "Undoubtedly."

 She sighed and rolled her eyes at his glee, "Alright but you will be telling her I argued against this."

 "Agreed," he chuckled and took her on his arm, joining the group heading for the docks now.
