I s'pose I should clarify. When I said, "I learned it all from Outlander" I only meant the Scottish.

Sometimes when people start arguing that a story that lacks the required elements of the romance genre (because tragic love stories can be romantic too, or because real-life romances don't always pan out that way), I'm reminded of the stubborn student in a science class who argues that science being theoretical in nature means its conclusions are no more valid than untested hunches, because that's what the word "theory" means to them.
Well, I figure sometimes, just being together and having a good relationship, being happy, is fine. She doesn't necessarily have to "be in love". Being together is sometimes just as good. I mean, look at arranged marriages that work out just fine.
