I reached into my suitcase and pulled out a blue velvet box.
“Maybe you can wear this instead.” The corners of my mouth curved upward as I handed it to her.
“Grayson.” She smiled. “What is this?”
“Open it and find out.”
She lifted the lid and placed her hand over her mouth as she stared at the diamond necklace.
“Oh, my God. This is beautiful.” She removed it from the box and held it up.
“It’s an eternal love pendant that symbolizes my love for you.”
I took it from her and placed it around her neck.
“Grayson, I love it. Thank you.” She threw her arms around me. “I love you.”
“You’re welcome, babe. I love you too. As for the necklace you packed, I took it out and put it back in the dresser drawer when you weren’t looking.”
“You are the best boyfriend ever.” Her lips met mine.
“I am, aren’t I?” I grinned. “You bring that out in me.”
A beautiful smile graced her face as she brought her thumb up to my lips.
“You have lipstick on you.” She wiped it away.
“Thank you. Are you ready to head down and watch Aunt Barb and Curtis say their vows for the second time?”
“I just have to grab my clutch.”
We met the rest of the family down in the lobby and climbed on the shuttle to take us to the golf course where the ceremony was taking place.
“Who was that girl you talked to earlier at the champagne bar?” I asked my brother. “Don’t think we didn’t see you.”
“Just a girl I met. She’s here with her family on vacation. She’s going to meet me later for a drink.” He grinned. “She’s hot, right?”
“She’s attractive.” I patted his back.
We arrived at the golf course elegantly decorated with a white runner sprinkled with rose petals, an archway with tulle and flowers, and several white chairs lined up for the guests.
“This is beautiful.” Ava smiled as we took our seats in the second row.
“Curtis looks nervous,” I leaned over and spoke to Simon.
“He’s probably up there wondering what the hell he’s doing.” He chuckled.
“Be nice,” Grace said, holding Nora on her lap.
When it was time, Georgia stood up, grabbed her violin, and walked up to the archway to play the wedding march. We all stood and looked back as Aunt Barb walked down the aisle, looking as elegant as ever.
We sat there and watched as they exchanged their vows. I couldn’t help but envision myself up there saying the words from my heart to Ava. I knew it was too soon to even think about marriage, but I loved her more than anything, and a future with her was the only thing I saw.
We stood and clapped after Aunt Barb and Curtis were pronounced husband and wife. After congratulating them, we climbed back on the shuttle and headed to the hotel for the reception. After we ate, Ava went off with the girls while I stood with my cousins by the bar, sipping on scotch.
“Who’s that chick your brother is talking to?” Sebastian asked.
“I don’t know. Some girl he met at the champagne bar.”
