"Would it help if I told you that I spent the entire night thinking up ways to bail on my father's plans for my life, envisioning a future with Ary as my wife and the mother of my children?"

Not really. You can't just do and say things, and just take them back when you feel like it, Grayson. If you love someone, you give them the benefit of the doubt until you hear it definitively from them. One declaration of love can't undo all the hurt that's already been done.

He's coming from a place of entitlement, so used to getting his own way. Once he realizes that the world doesn't revolve around him, he'll have a better shot at redemption. If he really loves Ary, he can just drop the act and be done with the Teller name once and for all. He's acting so irrationally and that won't do anyone good.
