Cam had asked Reese to be his best woman, but she’d declined. She didn’t want to take any attention away from Cam or his new bride. But she had agreed to give a speech as if she were his best woman. A speech she’d worked on for weeks because she wanted to get it just right. She owed Cam that much.
They made their way through the line, and she gave an extra big hug to Cam. “You are a married man, now,” she said. “How does it feel?”
“The same as yesterday. But I’m super happy. Now don’t roast me later.”
“I’d never do that.”
“Just think. You’ll be doing this next year with Grady.”
“And you’ll be doing a speech of your own.”
“I can’t wait.”
She and Grady moved along so more of the guests could get through the line. They found their name tags, and of course Cam had seated her with his family. They were family to each other. They took their seats and chatted with those at their table. Speeches were delivered during dinner. As promised, Reese had kept it short, telling all the guests what a wonderful human being Cam was. And when dinner was over, it was time to have fun.
“Shall we dance?” Grady asked.
The first thing he’d promised her after getting down on one knee was that he would learn to dance. In the last few months, he’d learned how much she loved it. He’d taken some private lessons, gotten some lessons from Reese, and now they were about to show off their moves.
“We’ll be doing this around the same time next year,” he said as he swept her into his arms.
“I’m counting down the days,” she said.
“And maybe your dad will walk you down the aisle?”
“That’s a work in progress.”
“I’ll take what I can get. As long as I have you by my side.”
She couldn’t wait.
