“I'll get Dylan and Hunter into position,” he said as he leaned over and brushed a kiss on my cheek before he joined our friends and family who awaited by the river's edge.
“I thought maybe you would like something borrowed and blue.” Saffron said as she tipped over a little silk pouch causing silver and topaz hair coils to spill out into her hand.
“I wore these on a magical date with your dad. I thought maybe you'd like to wear them today.”
“Please, I would love that. Could you help me?”
“I'd be delighted.” Shesaid tearfully. When she was done, she took my hands into hers. “I know I'm not your mother but I'm always here for you.”
“I love you, Saffron.”
She pulled me in for a hug and I heard the hitch in her breathing. “I love you too.” She pressed my bouquet of pink hydrangeas into my hand. “Savor the day, because it's over before you know it.”
Once everyone was seated, and the music started, the procession began as Hunter, Dylan, Sophia and Poppy moved down the aisle. My dad tucked my hand through his arm, then we were moving too. I smiled at the Wrights, at my uncle and cousins, at Broderick and Dante and my grandparents, at Ms. Whitney and Bastian’sold employer Cal and his wife before my eyes found Bastian's. We were surrounded by friends and family, but once our eyes met everyone else just faded from view.
My dad handed me to Bastian, who took my hand and linked our fingers. “You look exquisite, my beautiful bride.” Then he leaned over and whispered in my ear.“This is the ultimate payback—in just a few minutes you're going to be stuck with me forever.”
“Well, as it happens, Bastian Ross, I want to be stuck with you forever.”
A grin cracked over his face and he pressed a kiss in my palm.“Let's do this.”
“Oh, yeah.”
And together we turned as one and walked into our very real, but wildly happyever after.
