Key West Quotes

“They exchanged slow, sweet kisses. And he said, “Stay.” She blinked up at him. “What?” “Don’t go back, Carrie. Stay.” He felt her sigh almost before he heard it. “But I have a life there. A business. I’ve worked hard to build my business.” “So start a new business here.” Carrie was at once amazed, touched, and frightened by what Chris was suggesting. She knew she’d fallen in love with him, and she knew they’d just had the sexual liaison of a lifetime, but she’d only known him a week. She had no idea how many girls he might have gotten this involved with, how many times he might have made such a request. Of course, deep inside, she knew this wasn’t an everyday thing for him, just as it wasn’t for her. In fact, she was forced to recall his story about the one girl he’d loved who hadn’t loved him back, and he wondered if maybe it was possible he felt exactly as she did now—but even so, there was so much at stake.”
