From Boss to Bridegroom (26 page)

Daniel tucked his hands in his vest pockets. “You have a suite of three rooms on the first floor of the girls' dormitory.”

Her hand swept grandly to her chest, and the wiggling in Daniel's own chest returned. “Three!” she pronounced. “A veritable embarrassment of riches. I'll get lost.”

“Well then, she's my kind of gal. I like conversation, and lots of it.”
