Chapter 313

• "More to add in our favor, I think if you and I were to become more than friends, we would really work. Me being a future writer, you a lover of books. We both have a wild love for motorcycles. Just think of what our children will be like."
• Belle chuckles, "Easy there, cowboy. You haven't even asked me out on a date and already you're drawing an assumption that I want to bear your children? Let's not forget, go out with you. I'll warn you. Last guy who thought that and turned out to be pretty cocky about himself wound up with a black eye and his ass on the dirt. Besides, I am currently going through a divorce and you… I've heard, are quite the ladies man."
• August places a hand to his heart. "You wound me. Really. I mean, who could have told you such a lie? And if anyone is being cocky here, it's you." He sees Belle smirk. "Assuming I want to ask you out on a date."
