Desperately.”
He gazed out to the sea. “I never thought you to be

ask this of me.”
“But if you’re not there, my dear, dear Leo, then

“Me? But you always said no when I asked for your

“I was a foolish woman. Lynnford was the love of my
youth. And as we have talked these many weeks as
we’ve not been able to talk in years, so we

you always. Marry me, Leo. For God’s sake, marry
me."
