As forthat...
He didn't really feel like he was head over heels for her. Even including the car accident, he'd only seen her four times, and theyhadn't even exchanged a word. He just found her easy on the eyes.
He didn't want to tie the knot with a stranger.He didn't have time to spare for mingling with strangers; his experiments alone kept him busy enough.She probably wasn't thrilled about marrying that old geezer who could practically be her dad, right?
And speaking of the accident, even though it was unintentional, it was her mother who caused Willow Jenning's death. IfMarshall were to remember and go off the rails, could she end up getting hurt?
He figured it was safer to stick with someone close to him. After all, he was the one who told Marshall that his aunt had foundWillow, and it was right after that when the accident happened.
