A slow grin bloomed on Conrad’s face. He cupped her cheeks and stepped closer to her. “Before I met you, I knew nothing of peace. Then our eyes locked, and I’ve burned without cease.”
Her breath caught. “Am I about to get a love poem?”
His irises literally twinkled. “You broke through my walls and shredded my control, but with your sweetness and wit, you quickly made my heart whole. Here, now, in front of our friends, allow me to tell you how our story ends. We’ll be together today and forever. But live without you once again? No. Never.”
Tears welled in her eyes, and a lump grew in her throat. Had lovelier words ever been spoken? “We’re both best sellers in the making, and I’ve never been so happy.”
With the tenderest of strokes, Conrad wiped the moisture from her cheeks.
“Rings,” Isaac shouted, as if he’d just remembered.
Right. Conrad dug a band from his pocket, and Jane collected the one Beau stretched her way. They exchanged rings, each fitting it on the other’s finger. Before Isaac could tell them to kiss, Conrad cupped her face again and pressed his lips to hers. She wound her arms around him and melted.
“Ladies and gentleman,” Isaac called, “I present to you Conrad and Jane Ryan.”
Applause rang out, and the kiss ended. Jane laughed as Conrad swung her around.
Life was good. She had a feeling it was only going to get better.
