Could she be his beard?
I was going to post the same thing. I cannot see these 2 with actual feelings of love for one another. He Looks like he would be more into guys and she was calling herself a lesbian IIRC in an earlier book of hers? Is she his beard I would have to say yes, but in this case it would be more apt to calling her his "beast". Chewbacca aint got nothing on this hood rat of a first lady.
