providing a cherished story to tell for years to come.
Men are often thought to be more rational than women, and as the youngest head of the Hopkins family, Nate
had experienced all the splendor the world had to offer.
Convinced that nothing could sway his emotions, Nate found himself caught off guard by the depth of what
Corrine had done. Tonight, her surprise had reached deep into the softest part of his heart, stirring something he
couldn't quite conceal.
“You've prepared such an incredible surprise,” he said, his voice softening. “What should | do in return?”
