Teaser Tuesdays (12-06-11 edition)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
  
• Open to a random page
  
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Today's Teaser:

"Oh darling, please forgive me if I do wrong telling you this. I know I don't have the right to go as far as proposing to you. I'm just nobody, but if someday I get to be something and if you still love me, I'm going to beg you to be my wife."

-- First Love: Just Once in a Lifetime: A Memoir by Violeta Barrett (page 67)
