“Sir Guy, please—” Her eyes are bright with unease.
“I know you are hesitant,” he says, the words all a maddened frenzy. “I know that you have been hurt before. That the last man that claimed to love you abandoned you. But I would not – I can prove myself worthy of you—”
“Guy,” she interrupts, almost fiercely, “I agreed to marry you because it was my only choice.”
Oh, Nita. That just...killed me a little. Maybe a lot. That's just so perfect and IC and them.
This is just totally perfect and astounding and I will possibly hassle you forever about writing more. Because this is just fabulous. <3
