| 15 | * ICanChangeMyBeloved: Sort of. Honor frequently notes that Donovan would be an ideal match for her as long as he didn't partake in the racist and actually terrible trade of slave-catching. Donovan actually understands this and offers to change, but Honor goes onto to marry Jack Haymaker instead. |
