9th Six Sentence Sunday, asked and answered

Here's a turning point from Bride of the Living Dead. Daria halfway expected Oscar to invite her to move in, but he asked her to marry him and she fell silent.

            "I know it’s soon to think about marriage, but--"
            "Are you sure? You aren’t just saying that to get me to move in?"
            "I’m saying that because I want to spend my life with you."
            "Good answer." I stepped into his arms and laid my head on his chest.

    Aww! I have a feeling it's not going to be all that easy though. I look forward to reading about the things that stand in their way.

    This is a good set-up, but why do I feel like she's not as certain as her answer sounds. Great!

    Thanks, Kathleen, Sarah, Gem, Ella, graylinfoc, Vivien & sassyspeaks! My characters go theough so much difficult stuff, I'm always happy to give them some pure happiness when I can!

    Jessica, Jennifer & Laura, your instincts are correct! Marriage means that family members are waiting in the wings...starting with Daria's control freak older sister next week....

    Thanks, Marie, I love how the book buzzr works, but someone else set it up for me, so I'm not sure if it's easy or not. But it's fun once it gets going, good luck with it!

    Jessica, I'm glad could stop by, thanks!

    Love the book's title. That alone makes me want to read it. Your dialogue is realistic -- nice short sentences, written the way people actually talk. Sounds like a fun book.
