Looking around the room filled me with warmth.
‘Me either,’ I said.
‘Make sure you cherish it, love. A family can be more fleeting than one would hope. Love comes in many forms, and you need to treat each one as of the utmost importance. Never be miserly with your affection, giving it freely will only ever enhance your life.
Ewen crossed the room and held out his hand. ‘Dance with me?’
‘You don’t dance.’ I lifted a brow at him.
‘After almost losing you last time, I’ll take any chance to be close to you. Even dancing.’
The other couples joined us as we swayed in the sitting room, soft music filtering from someone’s phone. Inhaling his aftershave, mingled with the Scottish country air from our afternoon elopement, I tucked my head in the space beneath his chin.
‘Do you regret not having a big, fancy wedding with all the bells and whistles?’ Ewen asked.
‘No. This is perfect. We have everyone we need right here.’
Ewen’s hands fit against the small of my back, pulling me tight to him as he buried his face in my hair.
I hadn’t realised that I’d spent my life waiting for him. Waiting for him to come into my life like a tornado and blow me off of my feet and right into his lap. In his arms, I was adored. Cherished. Beloved. Protected.
My prince charming may have come with a side of depraved darkness, but it was exactly what I needed to be happy.
Two freaks who made each other whole.
