"Some things are better when it's raining. Like reading. Or sleeping. Or this." "Lying in bed with me?"

"I want to know what your five-dollar wish was for." "Is that all?" He smiled beneath her exploring fingertips. "I wished you would find someone who wanted you as much as I did. But I knew it wouldn't come true." The candlelight slid over Daisy's delicate features as she raised her head to look at him. "Why not?" "Because I knew no one could ever want you as much as I do." Daisy levered herself farther over him until her hair tumbled in a dark curtain around them both. "What was your wish?" Matthew asked, combing his fingers through the fall of shimmering hair. "That I could find the right man to marry." Her tender smile stopped his heart. "And then you appeared."

"All husbands are unfaithful in one way or another." Lillian and Daisy glanced at each other with raised brows. "Father isn't," Lillian replied smartly. Mercedes responded with a laugh that sounded like crackling leaves being crushed underfoot. "Isn't he, dear? Perhaps he has stayed true to me physically--one can never be certain about these things. But his work has proved a more jealous and demanding mistress than a flesh-and-blood woman could ever be. All his dreams are invested in that collection of buildings and employees and legalities that absorb him to the exclusion of all else. If my competition had been a mortal woman, I could have borne it easily, knowing that passion fades and beauty lasts but an instant. But his company will never fade or sicken--it will outlast us all. If you have a year of your husband's interest and affection, it will be more than I have ever had."
