“Are you after her?”
Yes. “No,” Ralston scoffed. “What on earth would I want with such a plain, missish creature?” Not so plain; not so missish. Ralston pushed the thought aside. “Have you ever known me to pursue a woman like her? I need her for Juliana’s sake. That is all. It is not my fault if the girl finds me attractive.”
LET ME BET MY WHOLE LIFE THAT CALLIE HEARED ALL OF THIS LOL

“You just impugned the honor of my future marchioness. Choose your seconds. I will see you at dawn.”
Leaving Oxford sputtering on the ground, Ralston spun on one elegant heel to face Benedick. “When I am done with him, I am coming for your sister. And, if you intend to keep me from her, you had better have an army at your side.”

“I’m not crying for you,” she said, placing her hand against his cheek. “I’m crying for that little boy who never had a chance to believe in love. And for your father, who obviously never experienced it either. Because that was infatuation, not love. Love isn’t one-sided and selfish. It is full and generous and life-altering in the best of ways. Love does not destroy, Gabriel. It creates.”

It was a terrifying feeling. And if it was love, he wanted none of it.

“Why won’t you marry me?”
“Well, for one thing, you haven’t asked. You announced.”
He looked to the ceiling as though asking for patience.
“Fine. Will you marry me?”
The words sent a sad thrill through Callie.
“No. But, thank you very much for asking.”
“Of all the damn fool—” he checked himself. “Do you want me on one knee, then?”
“No!”
Lol

She’d never smiled so openly at Ralston. And if she were to do so, he certainly wouldn’t respond as Oxford had, the fool, walking away from her. No. If she ever looked at him in such a way, he’d sweep her into his arms and kiss her senseless. Hang the Royal Art Exhibition.
Hell. He wanted to kiss her senseless right then, and she certainly wasn’t smiling at him.
Heheheheh
