So much had happened so fast. When they’d started out, she’d believed they had no future together, that their relationship would last a few weeks at best. Nick wanted a woman so different from her. They came from different backgrounds and lived different lives. At least, that’s what she’d thought--but after tonight the differences seemed superficial. What they wanted out of life was really the same. She was surprised at what she’d learned about Nick. That he preferred jeans to tuxedos. That a simple hand-knit sweater meant more to him than an expensive store-bought garment. That a quiet evening at home won out against the lure of fancy evenings and glamorous dates. That what he really wanted from life was a woman he could have a lifetime commitment with--and children. In reality, the two of them couldn’t be more alike. And he’d admitted that he wanted to be with her. He liked her for herself, he admired her talents.
