The way a woman loves a man, not just as a friend." Caught off guard by his question, Felicity blurted out without thinking, "Of course not!"

He frowned, "Is Calvin the reason you won't marry me?" Miles suspected that her reluctance to part with Calvin, a man with charming dimples, was the real issue.

Make sure you don't lag behindand Calvin!" Miles abruptly looked up, catching her reflection in the rearview mirror- "You're going to marry him?” "Yeah! We're both not big on ceremonies, so who knows? We might just decide to elope one of these days! After all, living together is pretty much the sas being married." en.kikistories "..." He rested his hand on the steering wheel, his pale wrist peeking out from the cuff of his white shirt, “You and he are already living together?" Felicity nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
