Easy proposal

     "Tyrel - be careful!'

    That made me grin. "Why, ma'am," I said, grinning at her, "I'm the most careful man you know. Getting myself killed is the last idea in my mind. I want to come back to you."

    She just looked at me. "You know, Dru, we've waited long enough. When I've caught these men I am going to resign and we are going to be married - and I'm not taking no for an answer."

    Her eyes laughed at me. "Who said no?"
