Sammy had her arms wrapped around him, and she sat in Barry’s lap. They were kissing one another for all they were worth. As they kissed, she heard an incessant beeping that she ignored—at first. After a bit, she lifted her head. “The soup!” She jumped off his lap and ran into the kitchen. “It’s not burning.”

“I am,” Barry mumbled. He took deep gulping breaths, trying to calm his raging libido.

“I’m sorry!” she said, hating that she’d run from him so quickly, but she hated when something was scorched into a pan. It had happened more than once while she delivered babies, and it was so hard to clean up.

He walked to the other side of the counter where she was cooking, leaning on it. “What would it take to talk you into marrying me?” he asked. He hadn’t quite realized the words were about to pop out of his mouth, but . . . he was glad when they did.

At first, her heart skipped a beat, but then Sammy laughed, stirring the thickening for the soup. “We’ve known one another for what? Five days? Time to marry!”

“I’m serious, Sammy. I’ve never felt this much for anyone, and I don’t know that I can keep seeing you like this. Not without dragging you off to bed, and I don’t think that’s who you are.”

She frowned. “It’s not who I am. I’ve never . . . not before marriage.”

“That’s what I thought. So, let’s get married. Tomorrow. What’s the waiting period in Wyoming?” Barry looked so serious, Sammy almost believed he meant it.

“If you’d lived here more than a few months, you’d know the answer. There is no waiting period. Everyone is running around getting married in three hours around here. It’s absolutely crazy.” She stirred the thickening into the soup and brought it to a boil, turning down the heat. Walking to the fridge, she removed the grated cheese and put some bacon on a microwave bacon tray, covering it with a paper towel. “Do you want butter and sour cream?”

“Yes, but listen to me. I’m not kidding. Marry me. Tomorrow!”

“We can’t get married just because we can’t keep our hands off each other. That would be crazy. Where would we be in six months after the passion wore off?” Sammy tried to talk sense into him, but she wasn’t sure if she was convincing him or herself. She so badly just wanted to agree and let the chips fall where they may.

“The passion isn’t going to wear off. I guarantee it.”

“You can’t! After five days’ acquaintance, you’re that certain we should be married? Really?”

He nodded. “I am that certain. Please, Sammy, marry me.”

She frowned. “I have appointments all day. There’s no time to plan a wedding.”

“Sure, there is. You can get all the women whose babies you’ve delivered involved. I’m sure there are dresses for the borrowing. Come on. It won’t hurt anything. And you said you wanted me to see a wedding performed by Brother Anthony? What better wedding than our own?”

She laughed.
