Book Excerpt: Getting Real

Sarah stared at Luke. "I would never marry anyone unless I loved him and wanted us to grow old and gray together. And seven days is not enough time to figure out if that's true or not. Don't you agree?"

"You're not. I'll take all the responsibility. I'll take the responsibility for this too."
Before she understood what he meant, he pulled her into his arms.
"Wait, Luke. You don't know what you're doing."
"I've been told that when it comes to this, I know exactly what I'm doing."
