This was embarrassing.
At his question, she paused.
“I mean, I’m a cop, technically. So I would say I’m generally pro-cop. I’m not afraid of guns, and I can actually use one. Why?”
Graham continued.
“Would you marry one? You know, if say the universe dropped a cop into your path, and you thought he was semi attractive, mildly annoying, and completely neurotic, could you see yourself marrying his daft ass?”
Finn couldn’t believe this.
There was no freaking way.
Oh, holy shit!
At that very moment, Finn wanted to sink into the floor and disappear. He couldn’t believe that Graham was going to go there.
As she stood there, she saw Finn blush, and since she’d just had a whole conversation with Tony about Finn, she was betting that Finn just had a whole conversation about her with Graham.
It was kind of entertaining.
Gabby knew what they were talking about now.
Her.
This was confirmation.
She glanced over at Finn, who looked hella embarrassed. Then, she was honest.
“I don’t think a person’s job is generally a problem. If I was married to a cop, I’d likely worry all of the time, butit wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. As for him being semi attractive, and mildly irritating, that is silly. A heart loves who it loves. Now, who’s asking me to marry him?” she asked, staring right at Finn.
He placed his head on the table, willing a meteor to crash into this castle and bury him in the magma at the earth’s core.
Well, she’d picked that up quickly, so Graham might as well keep going.
“And how do you feel about Scotland? Could you live here? Or are you always going to be an American girl who needs her country?”
That was too far.
“Graham,” he hissed. “Knock it off!”
He was burying him.
It would take a year of dates to dig out from this mess now, and he literally had four days.
She laughed.
“I haven’t seen enough of this country yet, but from what I’ve seen, it’s really nice. As for needing to live in America, my job is there. Would I leave it? Yes. If the right person asked me to.”
She was freaking out inside.
Finn looked uncomfortable, and that told her everything she needed to know.
The men here wereVERYforward.
“So you’d live here?”
She nodded.
