My heart clenched. Miles was adorable, and it made me wonder if Mark and I should move up our timeline to have a baby. Kendall was already pressuring us for a little brother or sister. I wanted her to be in our baby’s life for as long as possible.
Ethan ruffled Miles’s hair and stood to say to me, “I have a surprise for Savannah.”
I shifted in my heels. “I thought you didn’t want to see your bride before she walks down the aisle?”
“This is something I need to do beforehand.” Ethan smiled, and something told me this wasn’t something he’d necessarily planned on doing, but the sweet moment with Miles had motivated him to change his mind.
Instead of asking him to wait for Gia, who I was confident would know the right thing to do, I said, “We can make it happen.”
That was Gia’s motto. She’d said it many times over the past few months of our partnership. I knew it’s what she’d want me to say, and she’d want me to handle it now and not wait.
“Let’s go talk to Savannah. I need to give them their bouquets,” Lily said.
We filed out of the room, Abby following us. She probably wanted to capture whatever was about to happen.
Ethan reached out to touch my shoulder. “Tell Savannah Miles and I have a gift for her.”
“You want to be alone?”
“Yes.”
“Is it okay if Abby documents it?” I asked, noticing one of the groomsmen was tracking Abby’s movements.
“Absolutely.” Ethan radiated pure joy.
It made me think of my wedding day with Mark. Would he plan a special gift or a surprise? I knew it wouldn’t matter. If he felt anything like Ethan did, I’d be a lucky woman.
I could see why Gia had chosen wedding planning as her profession. She was orchestrating the perfect day, but it was so much more than that. She was creating beautiful memories that Savannah, Ethan, and Miles would remember for years to come.
“Let’s do this,” I said to Ethan, who smiled.
“We’ll let you know when you can join us,” Lily said as we exited the room.
The bridal suite’s door was closed, so I knocked. The maid of honor, Ava, answered the door in a red wine-colored dress.
“We have flowers,” Lily said with a smile.
“Say no more.” Ava opened the door wider.
We slipped inside. Lily’s assistant held several bouquets in her hands that she set up on a makeshift stand that would hold the flowers until the bridal party was ready for them. While Lily and her assistant were busy setting them up, I sought out Savannah.
I sensed Abby clicking pictures as she made her way around the room.
Savannah stood in front of the mirror. Ethan momentarily forgotten, I said, “You look beautiful.”
Savannah smoothed a hand down her skirt. “I can’t believe this day is here.”
“It is, and you’re gorgeous.”
“How is Miles?” Savannah asked.
“He’s ready to go. Speaking of, Ethan wants to give you a gift.”
Her eyes widened. “He doesn’t want to wait to see me?”
“He said the surprise couldn’t wait until later.”
Savannah rested a palm over her chest. “I think seeing him alone would help my nerves. I’m ready.”
