“I never took her out for fun like Aaron is doing now.”

Jareth’s eyes were red–rimmed, his voice a hoarse whisper, “I thought I was giving her what she wanted, but I never really asked her.”

Marilla, what do you want?

He had asked before, but as she repeatedly answered, “I want to be with Jareth,” he gradually forgot to seek her true desires.
