I overheard Mrs. Olsen asking Angel why he was still unmarried. With his family’s connections, surely there was a nice young girl from the metroplex who he’d would want to marry some day.

Angel said that he’s not interested in marrying someone from money or with expensive tastes who wouldn’t be content with living on the farm, raising children, and living far from the city. He always imagined that his future wife would be someone who’d appreciated the simpler pleasures of a quieter, slower life. Someone who wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and work alongside him and who’d never been especially interested in material things but appreciates simpler pleasures.
