[She had been trying to figure out a way to explain it gradually, but whatever.]
Cupids are these fucking- [How often does Mary swear? She takes a deep breath and starts again.] They're a lower order of angel that exist to make people fall in love. Our entire relationship - the only reason we fell in love in the first place was because Michael told some freak to make it happen. They pushed us together and kept us together until the end.
[Cupid influence. That's what Michael called it. Influence. Every time she thinks about it she gets so mad she could spit.]
Don't you remember when you made that post and he said something about trouble in paradise and "giving you a dose of the usual?" That "usual" was those freaks changing our emotions so they could manipulate us.
[She sounds like she's on the verge of crying.] Think about it.
[The point early on when irritation unexpectedly sparked into attraction (confusing them both, to be honest). That madcap moment when they each decided that their families were less important than each other- all the fights. Every time they ended a fight abruptly or glossed over something that mattered for reasons they couldn't put their finger on. It might sound weird at first, but the longer she thinks about it, the more the whole thing pisses her off.]
