Julia Quinn Quote
For a moment he could do nothing but close his eyes. Was this a taste of the rest of his life as Billie Bridgerton’s husband? Was he destined to live in terror, wondering what sort of danger she’d thrown herself into that day? Was it worth it?George? she whispered. She sounded uneasy. Had she seen something in his expression? A sign of doubt? He touched her cheek, and he looked into her eyes. He saw his whole world there.I love you, he said. Someone gasped. It might have been his mother. I cannot live without you, he said, and in fact, I refuse to do so. So no, you will not be going on some ill-advised mission to the coast to hand off a potentially dangerous package to people you don’t know. Because if anything happened to you… His voice broke, but he didn’t care. If anything happened to you, it would kill me. And I’d like to think you love me too much to let that happen. Billie stared at him in wonder, her softly parted lips trembling as she blinked back tears. You love me? she whispered. He nearly rolled his eyes. Of course I do. You never said. I must have done. You didn’t. I would have remembered. I would remember, too, he said softly, if you’d ever said it to me. I love you, she said immediately. I do. I love you so much. I — Thank God, Lady Manston exclaimed. George and Billie both turned.
