WAIT LEROY IS THE HEAD OF HR at Liv's work?! Goodness....

No way. It can't be this easy. I bet this one is a fake

~ The one willing to fight all my battles, but also the one who pushed me to have confidence in myself. The one who'd grown up teasing and protecting me. Who was selfless and endearing and funny and all the things a good man should be.

~ That was when I knew. It hit me like a freight train.
I was in love with him.
My temporary husband.

Oh, Tate, sweetie 😭

~ Now, I had a fake rock on my finger, and I discovered that the line had been drawn in pencil.

Swoon. Yes. Unabashed swoon.

~ The kiss was soft at first. Warm. Almost hesitant.
Like he was allowing himself to cross a line he'd spent years refusing to approach.

~ ...I would be marrying him with my walls up. Because even thought I knew what this was—Tate Walker coming home to me, the little wife, every night called for a fortress of walls.
Complete with a moat and alligators.

~ But I didn't want just any hero.
I wanted him.
So here I was, utterly resistless, batting my eyes like a hopeless leading lady from one of those old black-and-white romance movies my mom and I used to watch.
Maybe I was still a main character.
Just one from another era.
