Reggie’s mother, stepfather, sister and my sister, Eugie, are here. Pierre, Aussie Lass—Elodie, apparently—my friends and colleagues, some of Reggie’s friends from uni, and more. Everybody is here, wearing huge smiles, celebrating our love.
Our very unexpected love.
Reggie is laughing and crying at the same time now, cupping her mouth in her hand and running toward her mother. Her mother catches her in her arms, and her stepfather is patting her back. Soon, Pierre joins them and clasps his fragile arms around all three of them.
Then Eugie joins.
Then Elodie.
Then Reggie’s sister, Stella.
Then me.
Soon, we become one ball of happiness, standing in a nursing home, in a massive hug-fest.
When we finally break the hug, Reggie turns to look at me and I know that I did the right thing by asking her to marry me less than twenty-four hours into our relationship.
“Thank you for giving me everything I’ve ever wanted, even without meaning to.”
She doesn’t mean my money or prestige, I know. But reconnecting with her father, among other things. I smile, pressing a kiss to that sweet mouth of hers and whispering, “Thank you for accepting, and for being sent by a Thai fortune teller to give me my happy ending.”
“You’re thinking about a massage with a hand job now,” she mumbles, raising an eyebrow.
I laugh, saying the words I’ll be saying in two days in front of four hundred guests.
“I do.”
