Nora Roberts Quote

You'll make a good First Lady, Shelby Campbell.Shelby's fingers tightened on her wineglass, an involuntary gesture noticed only by Alan and his mother. Perhaps, she returned calmly. if it were one of my ambitions.Ambitions or not,it's fate when you're paired with this one, Daniel stabbed his fork toward Alan.You're a little premature. Alan cut cleanly through his meat, swearing fluidly in his mind only. I haven't decided to run for president, and Shelby hasn't agreed to marry me.Haven't decided? Hah! Daniel silled down wine. Hasn't agreed? He set down the glass with a bang. The girl doesn't look like a fool to me, Campbell or no, he continued. She's good Scottish stock,no matter what her clan.This one'll breed true MacGregors.He'd still like me to change my name, Justin commented, deliberately trying to shift the attention onto himself.It's been done to ensure the line before, Daniel told him. but Rena's babe'll be as much MacGregor as not. As will Caine's when he's a mind to remember his duty and start making one. He sent his younger son a lowered-brow look that was met with an insolent grin. But Alan's the firstborn, duty-bound to marry and produce and sire...Alan turned, intending on putting an end to the topic,when he caught Shelby's grin. She'd folded her arms on the table,forgetting her dinner in the pure enjoyment of watching Daniel MacGregor on a roll. Having fun? Alan muttered near her ear.Wouldn't miss it.Is he always like this?Alan glanced over, watching his father gesture with his lecture. Yes.Shelby sighed. I think I'm in love. Daniel... She interrupted his flow of words by tugging sharply on his sleeve. No offense to Alan,or to your wife,but I think if I were going to marry a MacGregor,he'd have to be you.Still caught up in his own diatribe, Daniel stared at her.Abruptly his features shifted and his laugh rang out. You're a pistol,you are, Shelby Campbell.Here... He lifted a bottle of wine. Your glass is empty.
