“What? No!”
“Do it!”
“I don’t know him, Suri! What if he’s a monster?”
“Do you think he’s a monster? You can’t if you got in the car with him,” she points out.
I sigh, closing my eyes. “No, he seems like a nice guy. A little possessive and overbearing, but with good intentions.”
“So…”
“It’s crazy to marry someone I’ve only known for a minute!”
“How did he do it? Did he confess his undying love for you?”
“No, he knows I need money for med school and offered to pay for it.”
“Marry him.”
“Suri!”
“It’s win-win, Rowan! You get to go to med school,andyou get a sexy husband!”
“Oh, my god,” I groan.
“What’s the downside?”
“The downside is, what does he expect from the arrangement?” I realize it’s the one thing holding me back from agreeing to Grant’s proposal.
“You?”
I scoff. “No one is going to propose and pay for med school to get with me.”
“Well, why don’t you ask him?”
“I did. He just said he had his reasons.”
“Okay… marry him.”
“What if his reasons are… criminal?” I whisper.
Suri pauses. “I doubt they are. You said he’s a good guy. There must be easier ways than to marry someone.”
“That’s true, I guess.”
“So, do it!”
“I can’t believe I’m even considering it,” I mumble.
She laughs. “Live a little, Rowan. You never talk about guys. If you’re into this one, he must be something special.”
“He’s hot and… distracting. That could be dangerous.”
“It could be exactly what you need,” she counters.
“What about you?” I ask, changing the subject.
“What about me?”
