    Georgia thought ric was about to bail on dinner again. Reacting almost reflexively, she rose from her seat, blocking his path with the urgency of


    someone trying to hold onto thest shred of hope.


    "ric, our food''s almost ready. Can''t you wait just a bit longer?" she pleaded, desperate to keep him seated. Every twitch, every sigh from him sent


    her heart into a frenzy.

    "ric, please don''t go, I..." Georgia was about to beg, lowering her stance as much as she could.

    aside by her head and strode over to Spencer''s table, grabbing Spencer''s hand mid-gesture and leaning in, his face darkened with anger, "What do


    vou think you''re doing? Proposing to another woman?"


    ric''s voice was heavy with usation, seething with anger.
