The Proposal (The Wedding Date, #2)

by Jasmine Guillory

A lot of men out there seemed personally insulted that she, a black woman, had rejected a white man.

Insert *eye roll* here.

She had to pretend to be laughing with the rest of the world about what a bitch she was, retweet a few stupid memes with her face on them, and make a joke on Facebook about her relationship status changing, when she felt overwhelmed and outnumbered the whole time.

...the things black women have to do to "save face." Why can't we just "be" and express whatever emotion we are currently going through without being seen as weak or less than? The shit is frustrating!

“If the demon gets me, tell my mother I loved her.”

Lmao!

Once I learned to trust myself, my instincts, and my emotions, trusting other people was a lot easier.”

I’ve spent so long being afraid of love, because the last time I was in love, the man I loved only loved one part of me, but not all of me, and I thought love meant having to sacrifice a part of yourself. But then I was with you, and you loved every part of me, even the parts I don’t like. And that scared me more, because I thought there must be some trick and that I couldn’t let myself believe it or I’d fall into the trap. But finally I realized it wasn’t a trap.”
