The scholarship money would pay for my schooling, housing, and provide a stipend for food and other expenses for us both. It was too good to pass up. It was the solution to most of our current problems, I was sure of it. Braevan When the Bride Treaty's program was expanded to include males such myself, my hearts and mind became filled with hope.
