Wedding Agreement

[Hannah] 

I couldn't believe that Roman had just gotten down on one knee for an absurd marriage proposal, but it had been amusing.

Did he really think that it would work?

"What's your plan?" I asked him. He was sitting next to me and I was hyperaware of his thigh touching mine.

"We just tell everyone that we met at one of your father's client events," he said with a shrug. "We'll tell them that I spoke with your father and since he knows I'm the heir to a billion-dollar business he didn't hesitate to give me his blessing."

I grimaced. "Sad, but true," I said. "My father has certainly shown his true colors." I turned away, but Roman reached over and gently turned me back to face him. His blue eyes were bright and intense.

"You can tell everyone that you accepted my proposal so that you could get away from your father," Roman suggested. "It's true."
