I don't know if I could do something so drastic without consulting with my daughters. They are a big part of my life you know." Reba says looking down at the table cloth.
"Well ask them." Brock says to her.
"I don't want to rush Brock. I didn't rush the first time I got married and if I want to marry you I won't rush. If you want to push me into a marriage I don't want anything to do with you." Reba says. She stands up and heads into the bathroom.
"Look at that Brock. You blew it. BLEW IT! I can't believe Reba thinks that I am trying to pressure her into marrying me. I love her but I am not going to force her to marry me. I did enjoy getting to know Terri and Nellie though. They are both sweet girls, but would I make a good enough step father?" Brock thinks to himself. Nellie walks over and sits back down at the table.
"Hello." Nellie says with a smile.
"Hi." Brock says and he waves at the girl.
"How much do you love my mom? I know you like her. I can see the way you have been looking at her all night. Are you going to propose to her?" Nellie asks.
"Nellie, I am going to be honest with you. I met your mother when I worked with her 20 some years ago, and I have loved her since I first laid eyes on her but your dad was the lucky one who got to her first and asked her to marry him. Yes, if I thought your mother would accept I would ask her to marry me. Although tonight I have already asked her to marry me. Though she said she would have to talk with you girls, and really consider if she wanted to remarry, because she doesn't want to marry at the drop of a hat, and I don't think she should." Brock says.
"Good. Because I don't think my mother should marry either." Nellie says as she stands up and pushes in her chair. "Look, Mr. Hart, my father just passed away and I don't think you should be trying to swoop in and take my mother while she's vulnerable just because you can. Got it?" Nellie gives Brock a look at makes the hair on his arm stand up. Then she walks away.
