" Well, I wasn't going to marry anyone, but since you asked, I think I'm fine with that arrangement. " Yeah, right. I could see that big, stupid grin from where I was standing, but I didn't expose him. " Why did you stop working?" "T need to prepare for our wedding." He ran off like a rabbit in a race. I chuckled. Yes, someone was watching me from the shadows, and I had a good guess who it was, but I did not turn back. I was no longer Yvonne Marlin. I would never start a relationship that would not bear any fruit ---- anymore.
