stinging with furious tears. “He doesn’t mean anything to me! How could you just let him – let him take me like that?”  
    “You never told me you were very much in love with him, and that’s what he claims. I think you lied even to Onella. You just wanted to get out of the country and see how the other side of the world lived, didn’t you?” asked Atreus, his eyes raging with anger.
    “I have never lied to you!” Carla was practically hysterical. “I don’t love him, I don’t! He’s jealous and crazy, wouldn’t he have to be to follow me here?”  
    “I don’t know what to believe anymore, Carla! I thought I knew you. I thought I understood the kind of person you were, and then this boyfriend of yours shows up on my doorstep, insisting you’re his fiancée!” Atreus looked more hurt than angry now, the gravity of what had transpired clearly weighing on him.
    “We are not engaged! He told you that to make you upset!”
    “Well, it worked! I feel like I can’t trust you anymore! Not with my son,” Atreus sighed heavily. “And not with my heart.”
    Carla felt her own heart break at the words. She approached Atreus, who shrank at first from her touch, and cupped his face in her hands.  
    “Look at me,” she murmured, her eyes glowing with tears. Her mouth trembled as she tried to find the words. “I have never lied to you. I am not Serene and I will not hurt you like she did. I have no feelings for that awful man. I feel everything for you. Everything . It would kill me to go back to London without you. Please believe me, Atreus. Σ 'αγαπώ .”

    Atreus blinked back his shock, warmth suddenly filling his eyes. Carla smiled. “You – you do know Greek?” Atreus stuttered, a smile breaking across his face despite himself.
    Carla nodded.
    “I figured it was really important that I knew one phrase in particular,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.
    “Is it true?” Atreus demanded, his pulse quickening. “Do you mean it?”  
    Carla looked deep into his eyes. “I do. I love you, Atreus. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone. I love you more than I knew I could love. I love you. Σ 'αγαπώ.” Carla’s frightened tears gave way to a joyful smile, and Atreus knew that she was being truthful with him. He swept her into a kiss so filled with passion it lifted Carla off the ground and into his arms.  
    “You are not going anywhere,” Atreus murmured, setting her down and pressing his forehead against hers. “I’ll have the bastard deported. I’ll ground his plane. I’ll do what I have to; you’re staying with me.”  
    “I will. Of course, I will,” Carla replied, holding Atreus tight to her trembling body. “There’s nowhere I would rather be; no one I would rather be with. I’m staying.” She sighed against his strong chest. Atreus pulled away suddenly. “What is it, Atreus?” Carla asked, blinking away happy tears. Atreus looked at the ground for a long moment, making Carla fearful. Atreus looked up at Carla, his eyes deeper than ever as they roved over her face, brimming with emotion. Carla’s breath caught in her chest at the sight of him, completely undone by what he felt for her. He took her hand, and he felt her heart rate double as he looked at her and said the words he thought he would never say again.  
    “Marry me?”

Chapter 1
    For most of her life, Carla had dreamed of the perfect man, and the perfect proposal. As an adolescent she daydreamed about how “The One” might propose, down on one knee at some fabulous location. She dreamt up luxurious restaurants, beautiful beaches at sunset, the steps of Montmartre or the top of the Empire State building. She tried to imagine what the ring might look like, and whether or not her betrothed would be nervous to pop the question. As a grown woman, she’d learned to
