“You made her feel.”
My brother fidgets, and Alex takes his place.
“You look gorgeous.”
“Thank you, but you also look hot, mister, in your suit.”
“I know.”
We both laugh, and he points at something behind me.
I follow his gaze to my brother dragging Chloe out of the room.
The song ends, and Sophia and Sarah circle me, complimenting me as we keep laughing and dancing.
Hours fly by, and it’s both the best day and night of my life. The food tastes delicious, all the rich flavors exploding on my tongue. David takes the spare chair Damien just left.
“You look happy, Bria. I’m proud of your progress,” he says, and I chew on my bottom lip.
“Thank you.”
“There’s a monumental difference between the person I first met and the one I have now in front of me. You exceeded all my expectations. It hasn’t happened often, and this quickly in my career.” Lines burrow in his forehead, and I’m glad to have surprised him.
“I might believe I’m your favorite patient.”
He smiles at me, his words reassuring me.
“I’m happy for you. You deserve it.”
“Without you, it might have never happened,” I admit, and he shakes his head, always the modest one.
“You allowed me to help you, but now I’ll leave you to your other guests. We’ll stay in contact.”
I nod, and he departs. Damien takes the seat next to me, and I can’t restrain my curiosity anymore.
“Damien, you have to tell me where we’re honeymooning.”
“You’ll see it when we land. It’s a surprise.” Through kisses he adds, “Just a few more hours, wife.”
“I like it when you call me wife.” My heart leaps, and I doubt I will ever tire of hearing it.
“It’s how I’ll always refer to you. Are you tired?” His eyes narrow at me, searching for the truth, and I tilt my head, taking in that he’s my husband.
“A little, but tonight is too good to want to end it.”
“The night will end, but our journey has just begun.”
He extends his hand, and I take it. After another session of dancing and small talk with various guests, the lights dim. A splendid white cake decorated with white pearls and roses occupies the middle of the room. We cut the first slice and walk back to the table, savoring the creamy, sweet cake.
A short while later, Damien and I say thank you and goodbye to every single guest. Our family accompanies us to the car, waiting to take us to the jet. Honeymoon, here we come.
Chapter Thirty-Four
BRIA
Wrapped in each other in the back seat, we kiss the entire drive to the private airport.
We stumble through the doors of the jet, grinning and kissing, stopping only when the crew congratulates us as we gaze at our wedding bands proudly.
