grow over all the years we have coming together," she told him confidently. She had been touched at his genuine heartfelt emotions, but his kiss had jarred her into her right mind and her heart wanted no more of Darren's advances and affections.
     
    “Darren, you can't come here like this and try to talk me into being with you. We are long past the time we might have fixed what was broken. If you want to try to be friends with me, I think we can work toward that, but I want you to know right now, that's all that there is ever going to be.
     
    “That's all there ever can be. We had our time. That time is gone. You have to understand that. If friendship is good enough for you, then we can try to make that happen, but that's all we can have." She looked at him seriously and made it clear that it was all that she could offer him.
     
    He seemed to acquiesce and he sighed and stepped back a little from her. "I had to try, Brittany; you are worth it. I wish I had known just what I had with you when I had it. I wouldn't be having this conversation with you right now. You'd be my wife right now, and our lives would be so different."
     
    She shook her head. "Well, it didn't happen that way, and I appreciate the fact that you know now what you had then, but I belong with another man and that's not going to change for the rest of my life." Her eyes held him in check and he nodded and sighed.
     
    "I understand," he said with a sad smile. "I guess this is just too little too late."
     
    Brittany nodded and shrugged.
     
    "Well," he continued, "please be sure that he's what you want before you marry him. It just seems so wrong to me. It feels wrong. You are a beautiful, smart, wonderful woman, but no man should be proposing to you after just one month. It's not enough time, it's just so wrong.
     
    “I feel like he's up to something and you are just playing right into his hands. I think you ought to be careful. Real careful. I think you ought to keep your eyes wide open. Even if you don't wind up with me, please be careful about him, and be mindful of him. I'm worried about why he's coming after you so hard and fast."
     
    Brittany knew better. "You are worried about me getting into a permanent relationship and you never having a chance with me again. That's what you're worried about."
     
    He shook his head. "Oh, don't get me wrong; I want you back. I'd love you back, but whether or not you take me back, you are still going way too fast with this guy. That's all. Has he done anything weird or strange?" he asked, watching her closely.
     
    She bit her lip as her mind went back to the thick document she had to sign.
     
    "Aha!" Darren said looking at her with interest. "I thought so! What happened?"
     
    She sighed. "Nothing really, he just asked me to sign a prenuptial agreement, that's all. He's just protecting himself and his business... his property and money."
     
    Darren frowned and looked at her in consternation. "Protecting them from what? From you? What are you going to do to them, take them away from him? Has he met you? You're the least selfish person I know. I can't believe he had you do that. It's like he's already planning for the divorce. If he is asking you to sign a pre-nup, then he can't be too confident in your marriage together."
     
    She looked up at him in annoyance. "Of course he thinks we'll make it. He's just providing some legal protection for his business; any smart businessman would do the same. It doesn't mean that he thinks we won't last!" She didn’t bother to mention to him that she had thought the exact same thing, and that her reaction to Logan's request had been just as objectionable as Darren's was.
     
    Darren sighed and shrugged his shoulders. There was just no arguing with her.
     
    "Alright. Well, you know my opinion, and I know it has no bearing, but at least when I leave, it will still be in your mind. You've heard it and hopefully it'll make you think some. I'm just trying to look out for
