An accidental meeting on a California beach leads to a proposal after a long separation brought about by my hero's father who didn't think my heroine was good enough to be in his family.



He exhaled noisily as his head dropped to her shoulder.
“Not that it matters,” he murmured, “but why’d you say yes?”

“I…I’m not sure. Maybe it’s the way I feel when you
hold me. Maybe it’s because you’re so darn forceful. Maybe
it’s because I’ve never been able to forget you.” She paused.
“Maybe it’s even because I love you.”
