Оглавление“You’re worried for your reputation.”
Brandon colored. “My reputation will survive. I’m more concerned about yours.”
Elizabeth put her hands on her hips. “Oh, so now you agree that I’m some kind of fortune hunter?”
“No.” He puffed out a breath. “Elizabeth, please. Consider my offer. I will make no demands of you. You and the boys would have a secure home, a place in the community. I can protect you. But if marrying me is unthinkable, even under those terms, I’ll understand.”
“Frankly,” she told him, “I don’t know what to think. I’m willing to believe we’ve both grown since our days together in Cambridge. But a marriage of convenience? I had once hoped for more.”
He nodded. “So had I. But we are different people now. I promise you all my support, all my respect. I hope more will grow with time.”
Time. Might as well say chance. He was asking her to risk her future on him. How could she?
“All I can say,” she told him, “is that I’ll give the matter due consideration. Good day, Pastor.”
