***

Ruby yanked her hand from Miles’ and jumped up from the bale of hay. Holy mother of God. He’d taken her completely by surprise, and here she was taking Mary’s name in vain and she wasn’t even Catholic.

Had she been daydreaming about marrying Miles? Certainly. Did she think he’d propose to her this evening at his family’s home? Not at all. Now he’d put her on the spot and she had to answer him.

Daydreaming was a far cry from facing the reality of it.

Did she love him enough to marry him? Because she’d seen enough loveless marriages to know she didn’t want one. His family, though. There was so much love in that house, it filled every nook and cranny and every bit of the air around them. The place reeked of love.

It was a lot to live up to.

She turned and looked at Miles, who now stood and looked stricken that she hadn’t immediately hugged him and cried yes, darling!

But like him, she’d spent her whole life claiming she never wanted to be married. For him, it was easy. He’d just have a family to support, but he’d still be Miles Collins, independent man.

He was asking her to give up her entire identity. To stop being Ruby Jackson, free woman and become Ruby Collins, wife and property of Miles Collins.

That was a lot to ask of anyone.

Then, of course, there was the enormous lie she’d been telling him for several months. If he ever discovered that, would he still want her as his wife?

Looking at him, she wanted nothing more than to wipe the sadness from his face and to give him what he wanted.

She went to him, took his face in her hands, and looked deep into his beautiful blue eyes and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”
