Just as well, she thought, as the last thing she wanted right now was another argument with Laura about Walsh, especially since the two of them had ju...t spent such a great weekend together.'Laura just doesn't remember what it's like to be young and in love,' Marisa thought as she carried her travel bag up the stairs to her bedroom.Sure, Walsh wasn't perfect, but he was good enough in all the ways that mattered, she reminded herself.

In her home landof Saudi Arabia, Aurora?sfather had been asked several times, to give his daughters hand in marriage tothe wealthy mining heir Omer.

A French girl doesn't meet a man's eyes unless he wants her to look at him. Of course we sneak lots of peeks when he's not looking at us.
