His “Marry Me, Chloe?” grew larger the closer they got to the ground. Her loudly proclaimed answer resonated.
Yes.
Yes!
Their feet touched solid earth as one unit, symbolizing to her their leap of faith, not only into each other’s hearts, but also into an unknown forever.
Chloe turned and hugged him. “That was an absolute blast! It went so fast. I can’t believe it’s over!”
Chance captured her and that elusive kiss. “Au contraire, my bright-green bundle of talkative, chocolate-loving sweetness. That was only the beginning.”
Dear Reader,
This book was about partnership, romance and reaching out. I pray that you have people in your life who both pray you through hard seasons and prod you along when you need a good boot to the caboose. I’m thankful for a group of writers who banded together when we were all unpublished and making the finals of writing contests together. We determined to pray and prod and challenge and encourage one another to publication. To date, all but a few of the fifteen of us have publishing contracts. If you are an aspiring author or you simply love to be entertained by warm, funny women, visit our blog at www.seekerville.blogspot.com.
I love hearing from readers. I invite you to e-mail me at [email protected] or write me at PO Box 2955, Carbondale, IL 62902-2955.
