Dear Miss Independent, I've decided that of all the women I've ever known, you are the only one I will ever love more than hunting, fishing, football, and power tools. You may not know this, but the other time I asked you to marry me, the night I put the crib together, I meant it. Even though I knew you weren't ready. God, I hope you're ready now. Marry me, Ella. Because no matter where you go or what you do, I'll love you every day for the rest of my life. โJack
Lisa KleypasI had learned this lesson so many times before. It was the great inner truth that didn't require the support of logic. Every time I loved, I lost, and I was diminished. I wondered how much of me would be left after tomorrow.
Lisa KleypasYou told me you believed marriage was for other people." "You're the only man who could make me believe that it's for me, too. Although when you get down to it, love is what's real. I still say marriage is just a piece of paper." Jack smiled. "Let's find out," he said, and he pulled me down to the bed with him. Jack & Ella
Lisa KleypasAh, Evie,โ she heard him say softly, โI must have a heart, after allโฆbecause right now it aches like the devil.โ โOnly your heart?โ she asked ingenuously, making him laugh. He lowered her to the bed, his eyes sparkling wickedly. โAlso a few other things,โ he conceded. โAnd as my wife, itโs your duty to ease all my aches.
