Rowan should have blushed and quivered, but all he did was frown. He then looked away and rubbed his head in dismay. "I don't think love comes that easy. I mean… I never looked at a person and was like… 'I want to give my life to this man' or something. Love is something you grow with someone. A love that just springs out of nowhere… wouldn't that be too shallow?"
There was a strange pang in Duke's chest after listening to what Rowan thought. He wanted to laugh-cry at this person's feet for thinking his love was shallow. After all, Duke just saw Rowan with Scott one day and was like 'I want to give my life to this man' and thought of getting rid of the extra person in the picture. How lucky was it that Scott discarded Rowan first?
