âSo maybe I havenât done anything thatâs technically inappropriate or spontaneous. Big deal. It doesnât mean that Iâm a prude or anything.â
âAlright. If you say so.â
âIt doesnât,â she insisted.
He shrugged his shoulders and started to walk off.
Suddenly hit with a burst of inspiration, Sofia grabbed Ram by his hand and pulled him back. When he turned back, laughing, she cupped both sides of his face and laid a kiss on him that was so powerful he couldnât help but let out a grunt of pleasure. He raked one hand through her thick hair and settled the other against the small of her back.
Ram couldnât believe how sweet she tasted or how soft her small curves were. Was this a dream?
Sofia pulled her lips back all too soon but he chased after them for another intoxicating dose. It only lasted for a few extra seconds before she pushed back.
âThere,â she whispered, while gulping in air. âIs that spontaneous enough for you?â
Before he could answer, she stepped past him on wobbly knees and quickly rushed toward her room before she spontaneously ripped his clothes off.
Behind her, Ram watched her go with a widening smile. Things were finally moving in the right direction.

âSofia Wellesley, will you marry me?â
Ten-year-old Sofiaâs amber-brown eyes sparkled at the bundle of wild daisies Ramell Jordan thrust toward her. Daisies were her favorite flower and always put an instant smile on her faceâwhich he knew very well. As for his ridiculous question, she just rolled her eyes and pretended not to have heard it.
âFor me? Thank you.â She took the flowers and shoved them under her nose so she could inhale their fresh spring scent.
Ram waited and then his wide smile crumbled into a frown when his girlfriend walked away. âArenât you going to answer my question?â he asked, as they strolled through the back gardens of the Wellesley Estate.
âWhat question is that?â she asked absentmindedly, still drifting away from him in her bubble-gum-pink sundress.
âCâmon. You know.â He stopped following her and folded his arms under his chest. âIâve only been asking you every day for the last two weeks.â
Sofia kept walking and smelling her flowers. About a minute later, Ram ran and caught up with her just like she knew he would.
âWell?â he tried again.
âI told you that I needed to think about it. Marriage is a very important decision in a girlâs life and itâs not something to be taken lightly,â she said, quoting her mother perfectly. âAnd just because Iâve known you all my life doesnât mean that weâre destined to be together. We may grow up and want to see other people.â
Ram frowned. He didnât like the sound of that. âSee other people like who?â
Sofia shrugged her thin shoulders. âI donât know. Thereâs like a gazillion people in the world.â
âYou want to date a gazillion people?â he asked with his eyes practically bugging out. âDo you have any idea how long that would take?â
âI donât know. Probably like five years.â
âWell, five years is a looooong time.â
Finally, she stopped walking and turned toward him. âMomma said that if a boy really liked you then he would wait, no matter how long it takes.â
Ram tossed up his hands. âThatâs ridiculous! What am I supposed to do while youâre out dating a gazillion peopleâplay Atari and drink juice boxes?â
âOh stop being overly dramatic.â Sofia rolled her eyes. âYouâre going to do what all boys do: work and save a lot of money.â
âWait a minute. I work while you date other people? That hardly seems fair.â
âOh, Iâll work too,â she said, beaming. âIâm going to work with my dad and Uncle Jacob. Iâm going to work with movie stars, directors, writersâyou name it.â
âYouâre going to do all that and date a gazillion people?â He rolled his eyes and then shook his head. âAll of that is going to take forever. Weâll be
