    hand. “It’s a pleasure, ma’am,” he murmured as he kissed her knuckles. Marjorie just gaped at him. After a while she seemed to have found her voice when she asked, “And why would I be an important person to this—“ her eyes flicked over him coldly, “gentleman?” she finished. Gabriel grinned at her. Or, at least that’s what Abigail supposed he was trying to do. Unfortunately it came out like a vicious snarl. “Because I’ve come to ask for your daughter’s hand.” What? All eyes fell upon Gabriel. He was taking this revenge thing too far. Abigail felt faint. She tried to yank her hand from Gabriel’s, but he held it in a vise grip. Meanwhile, her sister looked like she wanted to kill both Gabriel and Abigail. Daniel was grinning in absolute surprise and joy, and her mother…her mother looked as though she’d swallowed a frog. “Well,” Daniel began exuberantly, “This is certainly a surprise. Frankly, I was worried when I heard of your acquaintance with our dear sweet Abby.” Gabriel’s demeanor changed drastically.

Right, sweetness?” She just looked at him with wide eyes. How was she supposed to reply to that? Daniel laughed. “It was a bit of a whirlwind thing. I didn’t even know until this morning that Abby had come back home, and now this. It was quite the shock.” “Yeah,” Mikayla finally piped up. “Who would’ve thought Abigail would ever get married.” *** She looked pale and shaky, but things had gotten so far out of hand, he hadn’t the slightest idea how to stop the lie from growing bigger. Engaged? Christ—what had he gotten himself into? Mikayla’s barb had made Abigail wince. His ex-stalker was very vindictive and Gabriel suddenly realized he didn’t like it one bit. Abigail was his to torment only. Turning disdainful eyes to the younger sister, he sneered. “I don’t know why you’d think Abigail wouldn’t make a good wife for anyone.
