Diana Gabaldon Quote
Even if that were true, I said, struggling to keep my own voice level, why the bloody hell would I marry you? Let alone why you would want to marry me, which I don’t believe for an instant. Believe it, he advised me briefly. I will do it because it is the last service I can render Jamie Fraser. I can protect you; as my wife, no one can touch you. And you will do it because … He cast a bleak glance behind me, raising his chin, and I looked around to see all four of Fergus’s children huddled in the doorway, the girls and Henri-Christian watching me with huge, round eyes. Germain was looking straight at Lord John, fear and defiance plain on his long, handsome face. Them, too? I asked, taking a deep breath and turning to meet his gaze. You can protect them, too? Yes.
