Marriage Quote by Kat Madrid
““She wanted to slap herself for showing weakness around him. “Why?” he prodded. “Why what?” she snapped. “Why me?” “I was asking myself the same question.” “The wide-eyed act won’t work with me, cara.” “I am not—” “I won’t marry you. If that’s what you’re after, forget it. Not happening.” “I’m after what?!” she spluttered. She was at a loss for words. “It takes more than a cherry to make me cough up a wedding ring, “ he said with thinly veiled derision. “You should’ve done your homework. Marriage? Not in my cards.””

![“I don't like being away from home. That's one reason why I don't work as much as I used to [when I started my career], because so many things are on the road. I just don't want to be away from my husband, my dogs and my home. I don't sing that much any more because that also takes you on the road.” quote by Jane Powell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/07c/jane-powell-36243_away_i-don-t-like-being-away-from-home-that-s_278.jpg)
