+5 Free Coina

She yearned for the kind of love her parents had–a bond willing to live and die together, a trust so absolute one could place an entire life in the other’s hands.

Julius cleared his throat. “One more thing… When you told Trent you’d marry me and give me children- was that just to spite him, or did you mean it?”

Quinn said, “He’s not worth lying for, Julius.”

Julius‘ eyes lit up; she genuinely planned to marry him and bear his children.

“When?” His question burst out before he could restrain himself.

Quinn blinked, caught off guard.

“When do you intend to marry me and start a family?” Julius questioned.

“Let’s wait until our relationship is stable first,” Quinn said. “Besides, I’ll soon travel to the border to look for my brother.”

“Then let’s wait until you return. Whether or not you find him, let’s hold the wedding as soon as you are back.”

“Quinnie, sometimes choosing the person you want to spend your life with has nothing to do with time. I’ve already decided–you’re the only one I’ll ever want.”

Quinn gazed into his face while his heartbeat drummed against her skin. Is he nervous?

He waited, tense, for her answer.

As Trent had said, love came slowly to her, especially after one failed marriage. The thought of a second demanded hesitation, not haste.

Logic urged restraint, yet her heart wanted to say yes.
