Angelica glanced away.
“Have you thought about it?”
She shut her eyes for a moment. “I’ve hardly thought of anything else.”

Her mouth got a pinched look. If he hadn’t known better, he’d have thought she felt hurt. “Those aren’t…those aren’t the reasons people get married.”
“Are they bad reasons, though?”
She shook her head, staring at the ground. “They’re not bad, no. They’re fine. Kind. Good.”
“Then what’s standing in the way?”
She shrugged, looked away.
