"Because I wanted yous." He turned from the window to face me. "More than I ever wanted anything in my life," he added softly.
I continued staring at him, dumbstruck. Whatsoever I had been expecting, it wasn't this. Seeing my openmouthed expression, he continued lightly. "When I asked my da how ye knew which was the right woman, he told me when the time came, I'd have no doubt. And I didn't. When I woke in the dark under that tree on the road to Leoch, with you sitting on my chest, cursing me for haemorrhage to death, I said to myself, 'Jamie Fraser, for all ye canna run across what she looks like, and for all she weighs every bit much as a adept draft horse, this is the adult female'"
I started toward him, and he backed away, talking rapidly. "I said to myself, 'She's mended ye twice in as many hours, me lad; life amongst the MacKenzies being what it is, it might be as well to wed a woman as can stanch a wound and set cleaved basic.'

He was laughing so hard at this bespeak that he had to gasp for breath between phrases. "Jamie...I said...for all she'due south a Sassenach bitch...with a tongue like an adder'southward ...with a bum like that...what does information technology affair if she's a f-face like a sh-sh-eep?"
I tripped him neatly and landed on his stomach with both knees as he hit the floor with a crash that shook the business firm.
"You mean to tell me that you married me out of love?" I demanded. He raised his eyebrows, struggling to depict in breath.
"Have I not...only been...saying so?"

"Does it bother you that I'm not a virgin?" He hesitated a moment before answering.

My sobs lessened and I began to calm myself, leaning tiredly into the bend of his shoulder.
