This was certainly an interesting piece! I loved hearing his nervousness about her upcoming potential marriage-not for her safety and security, but her interest! 'Now if only he could convince her of these facts.' Very humorous!

I would only suggest one thing: make this last line a separate paragraph. I think you'll find this heightens the irony of this last sentence.

I LOVE it! Wonderful job!

This is very sweet. Well done.

This was very insightful and I really like the title. I don't think we get enough of the Governor's POV. Nice work!
