Everyone’s attention was on the DJ announcing the happy couple, but Mark’s gaze was on me. “I’m happy.”

“Me too.”

He lowered his voice and said, “We have the rest of our lives to make the big decisions. I just want to enjoy this happy middle.”

“I couldn’t have said it better.” Mark kissed me, this time a little deeper, making me wish we were alone.

Silverware tinkled on glasses, so we reluctantly turned our attention to the front of the room where Ethan obliged his guests by kissing Savannah.

The room erupted in cheers again, but the attention turned to the servers who were passing out the salads.

The energy in the room picked up now that the bride and groom had arrived. Their love was evident to everyone.

After dinner was served, Savannah danced with Miles and then Ethan. When the wedding party paired off, Mark asked, “Would you dance with me?”

“Of course.” I took his hand.

After a glass of champagne, I could finally relax. The cake hadn’t been cut, but I already felt like the wedding was a success.

Mark stood tall as he held my hand in his and placed the other on my lower back. “I told you the cake was gorgeous.”

“It is.” It was the centerpiece of the room, but it was really Savannah and Ethan’s love for each other that eclipsed all the smaller details of the wedding.

“I know I said we don’t have to decide anything yet, but have you thought about our wedding?” Mark ducked his head and murmured into my ear.

“All day, actually.” Each time I saw Ethan look at Savannah or Miles, I wondered if Mark would look at me like that on our day.

He eased back slightly to see my face. “What were you thinking about?”

I took a few seconds to gather my thoughts. “This was perfect for Ethan and Savannah, but I want something a little simpler. I want our families to celebrate together, but I don’t have a vision for the location. I’m not sure the smaller details matter.”

“We don’t have to have everything figured out yet.”

“We can do that together.” My heart bloomed with contentment. I’d never felt a more honed sense of rightness. I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Things had come full circle, and I was finally back in Mark’s arms, planning the future we were destined to have all along.

“This is just the beginning of our forever,” Mark said with a smile.

“I love that.”

“Thank you for taking a chance on me. No matter what happened in the past, everything we went through led to this moment.”

My heart soared at his words. Every hurt and every heartache led to this indescribable joy.

He drew me closer to him as we swayed. The rest of the room faded away until it was just us.

Feel My Love

ABBY

I moved quietly around the room, snapping pictures, adjusting settings, and observing the bridal party getting ready for Savannah and Ethan’s wedding. My goal was to blend into the background, and I lived to capture candid moments. This time, the only difference was a groomsman tracking my movements.

I felt the heat of his gaze on the side of my face, my skin tingling with awareness. I refused to look at him, but an awareness prickled my skin. He was taller than the rest of the party, with broad shoulders and a booming voice that rumbled through my body whenever he spoke.
