The proposal was sudden and quite frankly not even much of one because Edward wasn't asking.
He never asked. He saw what he wanted and he took it without a second guess. For obvious reasons, the idea of Edward demanding her as a partner made her insides turn to mush.
There were so many butterflies in her stomach Amy thought they'd come out her mouth.
She finally allowed herself to look at him and when she read what his eyes said, her answer was inevitable.
"Yes."
Because he hadn't been expecting a positive reply, Edward was poised to go into the epistle he'd prepared in his head to convince his personal secretary that they could have a relationship outside the office.
He was going to tell her how good he'd be for both her and her brother; how he would protect them.
He really wanted to make this work and now that she had said yes, Edward was convinced she wanted that as well.
"So, you'd be my girlfriend?"
