Chapter 58

• George is in complete shock. "What? Jesus, you move fast. Marriage? She said no to a marriage proposal?"
• I let out a pfft. "No. I didn't even get that far. I was going to bring her here to propose. Things went sideways when I asked her to close the paper and come live with me in Miami. That happened when we went to the islands last weekend. I assumed she was considering the idea and would come around eventually. But then, in Miami, she said no and refused to close the paper or even leave St. Augustine."
• George gives a what-the-fuck look as his light brown eyes expand. His large eyes and eccentric visage resemble those of a cartoon lion cub.
