My inspiration for Caitlyn Wentworth

My inspiration for Mitch Warren

•  Are you open to your own romance?

No. I fell in love once and it didn’t work out. It was painful and I’m better off alone.

•  What’s the number one quality you’d require in a mate?

If I were to even think about entertaining a relationship—and I’m not—he’d have to have a very safe, mundane job.

• What’s the number two quality you’d require in a mate?

That if he didn’t have a very safe, mundane job, he’d find one if he wanted to be in my life.

• Where is the best place you can think of to find a mate?

Church. Or maybe school. A school teacher would be nice and safe.

• Where is the worst place you can think of to find a mate?

Anywhere there are men wearing badges.

•  Where do you dream of getting married?

The Ever After Chapel in Aubrey. I planned to do that a long time ago.

 Mitch Warren:

•  Are you open to your own romance?

Only with a certain stubborn woman, but Caitlyn wants nothing to do with me.

•  What’s the number one quality you’d require in a mate?

That she be able to handle my job as a Texas Ranger.

•  What’s the number two quality you’d require in a mate?

That she’d turn everything over to God and just live.

• Where is the best place you can think of to find a mate?

Church. Or high school. Sometimes high school sweethearts stand the test of time. Sometimes—not.

•  Where is the worst place you can think of to find a mate?

High school. Sometimes you just can’t get past that first love when it doesn’t work out.

•  Where do you dream of getting married?

The Ever After Chapel in Aubrey. I was supposed to marry the love my life there a long time ago.
