"...we get married."

"W-we do?"

He kissed her. "We do. Then we build the home of our dreams. You continue to work as the sheriff and I run the quarter-horse operation at Coffee Creek. Children are optional, but horses aren't. I want to have a few of our own. And dogs. At least two."

Children are optional. I don't hear that a lot in American Romance.

This woman is an idiot.

And for the most part, she liked B.J.'s take-charge attitude. She could never be with a man who was too easygoing. No matter how hard she tried not to, she'd just end up walking all over him.

And wouldn't it be her luck to end up pregnant, no matter how careful she tried to be? No one in town would be surprised. They'd just look at her father and her mother and say, "Figures."

"We're too young," she'd told B.J. whenever his kisses
