Meg’s usual sharp mental switches eluded her as she tried to take in what the boys wanted while a long-held breath whooshed from her lungs. Kelsey had just asked her to marry him. She’d heard the very words that had filled her thoughts and fueled her longings for days. Would it be wrong to marry Kelsey for her own selfish desires?
Oh, but she wasn’t kidding herself. He’d never have thought of asking without the kids’ prompting, and he wasn’t offering anything like a romance.
But did that matter? They were two rational adults who looked at life’s practical needs first. Kelsey thought they had a shot at building a good marriage. At a fulfilling, long-lasting relationship based on friendship.
Now it was up to her. Now she had to discover if she had the courage to chance getting her heart broken. Because if she married Kelsey and he never fell in love with her, that’s exactly what would happen
The moment Meg stepped into the church foyer where she’d promised to meet her mother, Sandy stood ready, waiting to pounce. Audrey was coming with Babs Dunning.
“Meg, dear, really! You should have a little talk with Aimee.”
“Aimee?” Meg blinked rapidly to bring her cloud-raptured thoughts back to the moment at hand. She’d barely been able to think in a straight line since leaving the café. Stalling, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Why? What’s wrong with Aimee?”
“Why, she’s making outrageous statements which are bound to upset your mother. You should put a stop to it right away.” Sandy pursed her lips. “That’s how rumors get started, y’know.”
