  “Why are you telling me this now?” Especially, while I’m wearing my As You Wish uniform and plain white tennis shoes. Even Cinderella’s prince got to see her dressed in a ball gown and glass slippers when they first met.

  Only Colin and I have been friends for a decade, so I guess I can’t use Cinderella as an example.

  “Because I wanted you to hear the truth from me, not second hand.” Finally, his gaze returns to my face. He reaches out, gently grabbing my hand and sending thrills of pleasure running up my arm. “I need your help, Della,” he says earnestly.

  “I won’t tell anyone, if that’s what you’re worried about,” I mumble. Who’d believe me? Lola would laugh her tail off.

  “That’s not it.” He shakes his head. The light catches the golden brown strands in his dark hair. “You would never betray my family. There is no question of that.” His sexy lips curve into a small smile and my knees threaten to shake. “Ever.”

  Slightly mollified by his compliment, I encourage him to continue. “Ask away. You know I have your back, even if it’s royal and already has a bodyguard,” I tease.

  “I need you to marry me.”
