The warm breeze flows through our balcony door. The only sound is that of the waves crashing against the shore. Greece is our tranquility. The past month, all we’ve done is swim, sunbathe, and explore each other and our list that seems to grow by the day.
We have our own little private beach; we spend our evenings watching the sun set and the stars appear over the white sand.
When I wake up cuddled into him, I am home. I’m no longer running from my demons, I’m no longer fighting. I am finally living for me. I’m so deeply in love with this man, I will forever be grateful that he took me.
He stole the broken version of myself; he helped put me back together and now he just simply loves me.
I can never forget what I went through. Every day, I have this battle in my mind, but the choice is easy when I look at him. I choose him, us, and myself.
“Shall we go down there and make this official?” he whispers against my neck.
He brushes the tip of his finger over my tattoo on my collarbone and down to the one I had for him.
“I have a little present for you first.”
His hand slips under my silky lingerie. “Would that be that you have no panties on?”
I laugh. “No, I can’t wear any with my wedding dress.” It fits so snug on my figure. This time, we picked my dress together from a little boutique store in town. It’s a mermaid style gown with lace and pearls and a beautiful open back which ties up into a bow.
He lifts me up in the air, and I shriek as he spins us around.
He slides me down the front of his body. “Today is going to be the best day of my life. I don’t think anything will ever come close to this moment.”
His face scrunches for a second, so I run my fingers along his perfectly trimmed stubble.
“Nothing ever comes close to being loved by you, Luca.”
His lips crash over mine and I squeeze my arms around him.
“Now, help me get into my dress.”
“Rosa Russo has quite the ring to it.”
What he doesn’t know is that I’ve arranged for Keller, Sienna, Maddie, and Grayson, and their kids to come to our wedding. Frankie couldn’t. He’s too busy hunting down Romano by the sounds of it, so he will be there on FaceTime.
I couldn’t let Luca get married without his family here.
It’s safe here.
And without them, we wouldn’t be standing here today.
“You’ll have to get us down to that beach to find out.” I wink.
“You tease.” He kisses all along my jaw and down my neck to the point it tickles.

LUCA
The waves crash against the shore behind us.
“I do.”
Tears well in my eyes as she utters those two words.
She’s now officially mine.
“You may now kiss the—” I don’t let him finish before claiming my wife.
