Riley had been in California for just five days when he made his move as they lay in bed talking in a tiny room at the Peninsula hotel in Beverley Hills.
“He said, ‘I don’t want you to leave. I want you to marry me.’
I think I laughed.

And we did. I don’t remember what I was thinking at the time, and all I can say is that I was twenty-two.”
