Cathie Linz - The Marine Meets His Match

“No.” She refused to allow her heart to beat a little faster at the thought of him really proposing. She’d regained control of her wild inner-female self and she planned on keeping her locked up indefinitely. Serena Serious was in charge now. “We’ll stick to your proposing on the beach. We don’t have to say when.”

“Heidi is gonna want to know the juicy details.”

“Who says we have to tell her?”

“I do. Or she’ll get suspicious. So here’s the story. We met through mutual friends and I proposed on the beach here on Topsail Island while the sun set over the sound, not the ocean. You’re an only child, you went to UNCW and got your degree in…?”

“Business administration,” Serena replied.

“Before opening your own bookstore, you worked at…?”

“Various jobs, including the district manager of a large bookstore chain.”

“You moved here to coastal North Carolina…?”

“Two years ago. Before that I lived in Raleigh, and before that I was in the Boston area, and Virginia Beach before that.”

Rad continued his questions through dessert and the drive home. It wasn’t until Serena walked into her apartment later that evening that she realized that while she’d practically supplied him with her résumé, and even confessed her love of dark Belgian chocolate, Rad hadn’t told her anything about what he did in the Marine Corps. Other than the little he’d told her about his family, he hadn’t said much about himself at all.

That’s when she remembered another trait of middle children. They can be secretive.
