Having finally proposed to Sophie, Mark is having doubts: Is he settling for a sugar bowl he doesn't love, which he secretly wants to get chipped and broken, so he can get the one of his dreams?

Still who cares about being trapped in a loveless husk of a marriage when you can have a house in the Ardennes, and a flat in Barcelona?
