“This is my fiancée, Mason,” she introduced. When the words left her lips, a smile broke out, lighting up her green eyes.
That was the first time she had introduced me as her fiancée and that brought out the smile that had been missing since I got the call from Ray the day before.
“Nice to meet you, Mason.”
“You too,” I said, not looking away from Lennox.
Lennox’s eyes flashed to her quickly before she returned them to me. “Can you bring us my usual please, Lisa?”
“Sure.” The waitress walked away, leaving us in our own little bubble.
“What’s the smile for?” Lennox asked.
“That was the first time you called me your fiancée.” I brought her hand to my lips and placed a small kiss on the top.
She smiled. “I know. It felt right.”
“It sounded right.” I placed her hand back on the table, but kept it inside mine. I just needed to feel her and know she was safe.
“So, I’ve been thinking about the wedding.”
“What about it?” I asked, leaning in.
“I think I want to have it in the backyard.”
That surprised me. I was expecting some big, fancy event. “Really?”
“Yeah, I think it will be beautiful. We could get married by the pond, set up one of those big white tents for the reception. What do you think?”
“I love it. Have you picked a date yet?” I couldn’t help but smile at her excitement.
“September eighteenth.” She sent me a smile that made my skin prickle.
“That was the day you left to go to Tennessee.”
Her smile got wider. “I know. The day I left you and the day I marry you. The worst and best days of our lives will share a date.”
