For a moment, he wondered if she was really so naive as to think that because she felt a certain way, Trent felt the same, simply because they'd known each other for so long. It didn't really seem possible, but then again, there were a lot of things about her that he hadn't thought possible.
When she stayed, despite his explicitly given reasons that she should leave, he prayed to whatever deity might exist that she wasn't doing it out of some selfish need to prove a point to herself. That she did it because she really did love him, and that she'd weather whatever storms they'd face when her family found out about them.
His eyes met hers, and he nodded slowly, not knowing what else to do. As much as he wanted to keep doubting her, he loved her too much to let her go against her will. "I want you to tell Trent in no uncertain terms that you have never, and will never have any intentions of marrying him. I want you to make it clear to your family that you have no intentions of marrying him. You don't have to tell them about me, it's best that you don't, but I don't want there to be any doubt about your relationship with Trent."
