Every kiss…

Every moment with her…

Made every single struggle worth it.

Mum leaves me beside the celebrant before taking her place, while soft music drifts across the water and I wait.

Then I see Dad.

He’s walking slowly across the lawn.

Beside him…

Is my bride.

The setting sun spills gold, pink, and soft aqua across the sky, wrapping Indi in warm light until she almost seems to glow. Her white lace dress catches the breeze as she walks toward me, and for one impossible second, I swear she’s not touching the ground at all.

She’s breathtaking.

She catches my eye and smiles.

And just like that…

The rest of the world disappears.

There is only her.

My savior.

My angel.

My one true saving grace.

Chapter Forty-Nine

Caleb

As Indi walks toward me on Dad’s arm, my heart pounds so hard it steals my breath.

She’s graceful.

She’s stunning.

And she’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

Every instinct tells me to run to her, but I force myself to stay where I am as she smiles that earth-shattering smile that reaches all the way to her sparkling eyes.

The moment she’s close enough, I cave, stepping forward, and I hold out my hand.

She slips hers into mine, and the simple touch sends warmth racing through me.

No matter how many times she touches me…

It never gets old.

“You look stunning,” I whisper.

She smiles shyly as she comes to stand in front of me. Without thinking, I slide my free hand around her waist. I don’t care about standing a respectable distance apart. We’re not a conventional couple, and this isn’t a conventional wedding.
