Was there anything he wouldn’t give for an isolated cabin and one night with her? No, he didn’t imagine there was–not that he had anything left to give. The last two things Phillip possessed he’d already bequeathed–to Milly, his heart, and to the Almighty, his vow to that he’d marry her if He would simply rearrange their circumstances to make it possible. April W. Gardner
About This Quote

Phillip was a wealthy man. He had everything he could ever want or need. His ultimate dream was to have his own isolated cabin, one that no one else could enter, where he could be alone with Milly. It was his greatest desire. However, Phillip knew he couldn’t have that cabin without Milly, so he made the ultimate sacrifice by giving up everything he had just to have her.
