Robyn Carr Quote

She took one look at me and fireworks shot out of her ears. I think she hates me. At least, she’s still mad. But it could mean she still cares, he added hopefully. If I knew where to run into her again, I could try my persuasive charm on her without crowding her. I might’ve tried something like that the first time around. Like being at the officers’ club every time I thought she’d be there, till she got so sick of me shadowing her, she gave in. Luke laughed. Suave, he said. Think I should throw myself on her mercy? Nah, he answered for himself. From what I saw, she doesn’t have a lot of mercy in her right now. Besides, humility really isn’t my strong suit. Luke laughed at him. And, God forbid, we manly Riordans always play our best cards. You know what I mean. What woman wants a man who grovels? Did you grovel? When you and Shelby—? I hate to burst your bubble, pal, but I said I’d do anything that would make her happy. I know—it’s hard for you to imagine your tough big brother caving like that, but when I got down to it, I was doomed without her. She’s the breath in me. Then he grinned. But she doesn’t make me grovel anymore. She lets me pretend to be the big man. Swell, Sean said, a long way from understanding all the rules for this game.
