Kelsey's heart pounded. She didn't understand why he was saying all this. Frowning, she replied firmly, "I've never thought of it that way…"
"Then why?" Norman's voice rose, thick with emotion, almost accusing her. "Why, at a time like this, would you rather go on a blind date with some random stranger than come to me for help?"
He took a sharp breath, his words tumbling out. "I've told you so many times, no matter what you're going through, I'll help you. Am I really not worth your trust? You want to marry a stranger just to get rid of Rhett? Why not me? At least I know everything that happened between you two. Wouldn't that be easier?"
