impact of her question shook him to the core. He had no right touching her this way. He dropped his hand from her face and looked out at the driving rain. “I had some serious relationships in the past. They didn’t work out. There’s time for me.”
“So you do want to marry eventually?”
“Yeah. One day. In the very, very distant future.” Right now, women were off the table for him. He’d purged his “little black book.” He was officially taking a break.
“And you? Did you ever imagine yourself getting married so young?”
“Young? I’m twenty-six. In the olden days, I’d be considered a spinster.”
“Yeah, but it’s not the olden days.”
“I know, Coop. It’s just that I’ve been kinda boy-crazy all my life. No one ever stuck. Maybe it runs in our DNA. Maybe Tony and I weren’t very different from my father,” she said quietly. “I’ve always worried about that. My father never seemed satisfied with what he had. You know his history, four marriages and divorces.”
“Nah, you’re not like him.”
“I’d crush on one boy and then another, and I never wanted to settle.”
“You shouldn’t settle. Ever. You should be dead sure.”
“My friends tease me about it, but Mama says it’s just that my heart is big and it takes a whole lot to fill it.”
“And Roger does that for you?”
Lauren bit her lip, hesitating for a fraction of a second too long. “Yeah, he does.”
He wasn’t convinced and, when she trembled, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her in tight, warming them both up.
He hoped like hell Kelsey was true blue.
Otherwise he’d have to punch the guy’s lights out and send him packing.
