His views of marriage made no sense to her. Why would he enter one if not for love? Solely for children? At one time that would have been her nightmare - and it was also her largest suspicion towards Bronco. That he'd used her to get Killdeer and then decided he had gotten what he wanted.

Trust, for one. And physical contact. It doesn't always have to be... that. But it's important to me. Obviously those two were foremost on her mind. But it was apparent to her that this conversation, right here, was already more honest and open than any she'd had before. Germanicus wasn't the most romantic of souls, but he was blunt as hell. She could respect that.
