“Um, see, I don’t do spur of the moment. That’s what makes this even weirder because, yes, I am definitely going to have to marry you.”
“Wow, okay. Let’s go.”
“Now? Just like that?”
“This plan probably won’t get better the more we think about it. My family jet just so happens to be at the airport because I was going to go home tomorrow, which might be sort of serendipitous, if you believe in that sort of thing. Which I do.”
“I don’t.”
“I’ll work on that.”
“I don’t have money, clothes, toiletries.”
“We keep supplies on the plane. Anything else we don’t have, we’ll buy there. Is there anyone you want to call?”
“The less people who know about this, the better,” Riley said.
“See, we’re not even married and we’re thinking alike.” He sounded cheerful, but he paused at the edge of his apartment. “Goodbye, former life,” he whispered. Would his congregation really fire him? Riley couldn’t think about that right now. She couldn’t think about anything or she might back out, and she was surprised by how much she didn’t want to back out.
He turned to go, but she held him back. “Tosh.”
“Mm.”
“We’re going to be happy. Somehow, I know it.”
“I have a good feeling myself,” he agreed. “By the way, thanks for doing this.” He kissed her, picked her up, and sprinted to the car. And somewhere between the car and the house, Riley Steele lost her heart.
