Dev blinked hard. The heat and sun had to be the reason why the woman he barely knew had just suggested marriage. Either she was suffering from sun stroke or the heat had affected his hearing.

“Don’t look so stunned.”

“How should I look? We’ve known each other less than twenty-four hours.”

“That came out wrong.”

His first thought was that’s a relief, except oddly enough, it wasn’t. The original declaration wasn’t sitting poorly with him as it should.

“We both agree our parents would be appalled if we had decided to marry all of a sudden to a person we barely knew.”

He nodded. So far she made sense.

“So what if we gave them a taste of their own medicine? What if we wait another day or two, because we really don’t have too much more time than that, and announce we have decided they’re right? When you know you know, and we’re going to have a double wedding.”

He had to think about this for a minute. Normally he would’ve spouted something about her being completely out of her mind. At the moment though, he had to admit she might be onto something. “So in other words, if we can make them focus on why we have no business getting married, then hopefully that will make them see why they have no business getting married either. Am I following you?”

Grinning broadly, she practically bounced in her seat. “Yes! It’s perfect. You know that it’s human nature to want to do what people tell you that you cannot do, so we’d only be giving them reason to dig their heels in if we keep insisting they shouldn’t marry. Even if they begin to have reservations, they may do it just to prove to us that they know what they’re doing.”

As much as it surprised him that he’d followed her convoluted trend of thought, he had to admit she did indeed have a point. “So we make nice for another day or so and then make the big announcement?”

She nodded.

“They’ll never buy it.” He shook his head.

“Sure they will. Would you have thought a month ago that your father would marry a woman he knew less than two weeks?”

He shook his head again.

“I rest my case. I think we can do this. Are you in?”

“I’m in.” It was probably the best idea they’d come up with so far. Especially since reason wasn’t working. “We’ll have to do a little better planning than what we came on board with.”

“Agreed.” She put her hand over her eyes and glanced up at the sky, then reached into her purse and pulled out a small bottle of sunscreen. “Do you have anything in mind?”

“My first thought is we need to cram a few months of courtship into the next twenty-four hours.”

“That might be a little industrious.”

“Think of it as cramming for a final exam, because you’d better believe if we put this out there, that we’ve discovered enough about each other to realize this is it, that you’re the only one for me, they are going to drill us for all we’re worth.
