Sarah MacLean, The Season

"Men are not nearly as evolved as women are, nor as intelligent, evidently"

"Let me be clear. Last I was aware you were neither my husband nor my father nor my King. Therefore, any control you may imagine you hold over me is just that- imaginary"

"You realize that is you allow me to court you, all your opposition to marriage is going to have to be reconsidered."She smiled, feigning innocence."What opposition to marriage"Excellent."But I'm thinking we should have a long courtship."Why" He looked surprised."Because i find I've developed a taste for adventure."That sounds dangerous. Not at all in character for a delicate flower."She laughed." We know I've never been good at being a delicate flower. Besides, it shan't be too dangerous."How can you be so sure"She smiled brilliantly at him, taking his breath away."Because, on my next adventure, I'll have you by my side."
