“Gemma, I don’t know how I ever lived without you.”

My lip quivers as the tears spill over.

“The last thing I ever expected when I came to Dixon was to find you. I thought I’d write a show and be gone. But then you came crashing into me and my life changed for the better. You support me in everything I do. Our lives are crazy, but there is no one I want at my side besides you. You’re the calm in this storm. You’ve given more to me than you’ll ever know, and know that I will support you in everything you do until I take my last breath. I love you, Gemma Winchester. More than I ever thought possible.”

Blake wipes his tears as I try to stifle mine.

“Gemma?” Gramps turns to me.

I don’t know how I’m going to get through this without turning into a blubbering mess.

“Blake. I don’t know how I got so lucky. I wasn’t looking for love, but I guess it found me. You showed me what real love was. It’s not always easy. But at the end of the day, it’s you and me. Always us. And as long as we’re together, I know we can take on anything life throws at us. I love you, Blake Travers. I’m so happy we’re riding off into the sunset together.”

“On Buttercup and Old Man River.” He winks at me.

God, I love this man.

“Now, Blake.” Gramps pulls us back. “Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect Gemma, forsaking all others, and holding only unto her forevermore?”

“I do.”

“Gemma. Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect Blake, forsaking all others, and holding only unto her forevermore?”

“I do.”

We exchange our rings, the gold band matching my engagement ring perfectly.

“Now, by the power vested in me by the state of Idaho, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Blake,” Gramps nods to my now husband, “you may kiss your bride.”

Blake’s smile is huge as he sweeps me into his arms, giving me the best kiss of my life. Cheers and whoops sound from the crowd.

“I love you,” Blake says against my lips.

“I love you more.”

“Not possible.” He presses another quick kiss against my lips.

Layla hands me flowers, wrapping me in a quick hug. “Congratulations, Mrs. Travers.”

My smile could be seen from space as Blake and I walk down the aisle. Everyone is clapping as Blake pulls me in for a kiss at the end of the aisle.

“Mrs. Travers.” Blake presses another kiss to my lips.

“Mmm. I like hearing you say that.”

“Well then, I guess I’ll have to say it every day then, Mrs. Travers.”

“Every day, Mr. Travers.”

With Blake by my side, I can’t wait to spend my life with him.

From now until forever.

Chapter Three

BLAKE

“Need anything else to drink, Mrs. Travers?” Wrapping my arms around Gemma’s waist, I drop a kiss to her neck.
