Julie Garwood Quote

He stood up and took a step toward her. There has been a request for your hand in marriage.Is that why you kissed me? So you could take me home and then marry me to a man I don't love? Who is he? she demanded, emotionally spent now and uncaring that tears were streaming down her face.He started toward her.Don't you dare kiss me again, she ordered. I can't think when you… Just don't, she stammered. And as for the offer, I decline.You can't decline until you know who he is, he reasoned.All right. Tell me his name, and then I'll decline. You're going to praise him first though, aren't you?That's what you always do to try to get me to agree, she ended, and even she could hear the heartbreak in her voice.No, I'm not going to praise him. He's riddled with flaws.She stopped trying to run away. He is?He slowly nodded. I have it on good authority that he's stupid and arrogant and obstinate, or at least he was until he realized what a fool he has been.But that's what I said about… you.I love you, Bridgid. Will you marry me?
