Redeeming Love

[Marriage] "It's a lifetime commitment in my book, Lady. It's not an arrangement you nullify when things get a little tough to bear."

"Right now, love doesn't have an awful lot to do with feelings. Don't misunderstand, I am as human as to the next man. I feel all right. I feel plenty right now, a lot I wish I didn't." He shook his head, and his face strained with hurt and anger. "I felt like killing you when I walked into that room, but I didn't. I feel like beating sense into you right now, but I won't". He looked at her with dark eyes. "And no matter how much it hurts , and no matter how much I feel like hurting you back for what you've done, I'm not going to." He snapped the reins and set off again.
