Arlan's Warning

"Have you thought about expressing it to Lucian?" Rowan asked, earning approving gaze from his brothers. "He seems to be a blockhead in this regard. Maybe, once you say it....There is nothing wrong if woman confesses her feelings first. You are not a typical woman to think for a man to make a first move…"

"No," Erin shook her head, "I know he doesn't feel that way about me, and I do not wish to make things awkward between us when I am marrying his brother. After I tell him how I feel about him, if he still rejects me, how am I going to face him as his brother's wife? Let things be the way they are," she said firmly. "After spending time with Aaron, I believe I will be fine with him. I am not an emotional fool but know how to think rationally."

"You have thought it all through," Rowan commented.

"Yes," she replied with determination.

Rowan looked at Euron and Rafal for their opinions.
