I may not be the most patient woman in the world, or the most glamorous, or the most athletic, but I'm right up there at the top of the line when it comes to resiliency.
Janet EvanovichTHERE ARE SOME MEN who enter a womanโs life and screw it up forever. Joseph Morelli did this to meโnot forever, but periodically.
Janet EvanovichMaybe it's just not the right time for us to be married. I don't want to be a bounty hunter for the rest of my life, but I certainly don't want to be a housewife right now. And I really don't want to be married to someone who gives me ultimatums. And maybe Joe needs to examine what he wants from a wife. He was raised in a traditional Italian household with a stay-at-home mother and domineering father. If he wants a wife who will fit into that mold, I'm not for him. I might be a stay-at-home mother someday, but I'll always be trying to fly off the garage roof. That's just who I am.
Janet EvanovichValerie was crying, too. She was laughing and sniffling back sobs. โIโm going to marry my snuggy wuggums,โ she said. Morelli paused, his fork halfway to the roast chicken platter. He slid his eyes to me and leaned close. โIf you ever call me snuggy wuggums in public Iโll lock you in the cellar and chain you to the furnace.
Janet EvanovichIs there anything else you need from me?" Ranger asked. "Not right now." "There will come a time," Ranger said. "Let me know when." And he disconnected. I opened the freezer and stuck my head in to cool off. If there'd been any more innuendo in that conversation, I could have fried an egg on my forehead.
