TWENTY ONE DAYS AFTER SAYING “I DO”
TRAVIS
Manhattan, New York
“Congratulations to Mrs. & Mrs. Travis Carter!”
—Your second family at Nike
Istared at the banner that hung from the ceiling in Mr. Truss’s penthouse.
He’d insisted on throwing us a wedding reception since he still “felt some type of way” about us not having a formal ceremony that he could attend.
His wife, the top wedding planner on the east coast, decorated the entire home with red and white roses. She’d also handcrafted a three-tiered cake that featured our likenesses for the cake topper. Tatiana’s clay figure wore a red skating costume, while I wore a bow tie and black fighting shorts.
A part of me thought this was creepy as fuck and completely unnecessary, but there was another part of me—a small, microscopic one—that found it slightly endearing.
He better finally agree to renew my sponsorship contract after all this…
I picked up a glass of champagne and sipped it slow, stealing the umpteenth glance of my wife. Today was the first time I’d seen her in three long days, and I’d sorely missed the view.
Somehow, every dress she wore was more alluring than the last, and today’s short one-shoulder pink number accentuated her every curve, stamping itself into my memories for months to come.
“You know, if I didn’t know any better, I’d totally buy this entire relationship,” Penelope whispered. “The way you and Tatiana keep gazing at each other every few minutes is top notch acting. I’m actually giddy watching it.”
“Good to know, Crown.”
“Seeing that I’m in on the truth, though—” She looked over her shoulder, making sure no one was within earshot. “Have me and Hayden done enough by showing up and giving a toast, or do you think this Truss guy expects us to stay a little longer?”
“If you leave early, I’m not saving any cake for you. It’s your favorite flavor.”
“His wife made me a separate small one.” She smiled. “She figured I’d be eating for two.”
I glanced at her baby bump. “Everything still going well?”
“Everything except my older brother holding up the progress for a certainrealwedding ceremony. You could at least get fitted for your tuxedo.”
