'To give you time to get to know me. To realise your engagement to Gary was a mistake.'
'I'm not engaged. I haven't been for days.' A quick movement and then the ring was off her finger. 'But Nicholas, what about Serena?'
'The kiss you saw was a goodbye. After the day we spent together at Pinevale, I knew that I had to have you with me always. Serena came for supper and later we had a long talk.'
'Was that why you were so distant?'
His eyes narrowed slightly. 'You noticed?'
'Noticed?' A small sob. 'I couldn't understand what had happened. I... I was so hurt.'
'For the last time,' he promised. 'Kelly, you'd turned my world upside down. You weren't the girl I'd imagined. And I loved you so much. I had to think, come to terms with it all...'
'Oh, Nicholas! Darling ... have I been very foolish?'
'Very. But so was I.' Strong arms drew her back on to his chest, and his lips probed a bare shoulder. 'I love you, Kelly. And I want you. And the Andersons need their bedroom back. When will you marry me?'
'Next week?' she ventured mischievously.
'Tomorrow,' he said firmly. There was no time to argue the point as strong lips pressed down on hers. And moments later any wish to talk had vanished.
