Now might be the perfect time for Taryn to try something new, someplace new.
Like L.A.
With him.
She had the skills and would be in high demand. They could make this work.
All he had to do was ask her to come with him.
Chapter Nineteen
Wedding guests formedtwo lines, standing shoulder to shoulder, ten feet apart. Taryn stood next to Garrett, his arm touching hers. From the ceremony to the end of the reception, today had been magical, not only for Callie and Brandt but everyone attending their wedding.
In the line across from them, Margot wiggled her shoulders. “This is so fun.”
And it was.
Not only fun but also romantic.
The event—well, minus the rush earlier to set up the reception—made Taryn wistful for more nights like this. Her feet ached from all the dancing, but she didn’t mind at all. A part of her wished tonight would never end.
Anna and Raine passed out three-feet-long sparklers to each person. Flynn and Keaton followed with lighters.
“How did you get out of helping with the farewell?” Taryn whispered in Garrett’s ear.
“I told them I needed to be with my unofficial plus-one.”
She loved how his warm breath caressed her skin, giving her the best possible kind of chills. “Unofficial plus-one? Never heard of that term before.”
He kissed her neck. “I made it up.”
Tingles shot through her. “Be careful, or we might burn ourselves with the sparklers.”
His gaze, reflecting the bright sparks, met hers. “I’ll take my chances.”
Garrett brushed his lips across hers.
“Hold the sparklers in the air,” the photographer who stood at the far end shouted, breaking the spell.
Everyone raised theirs, and the result was a stunning tunnel of sparks for the bride and groom to exit the reception.
Smiling big, Callie and Brandt held hands and made their way through the tunnel as the photographer took photos. People cheered them on.
“Congrats.”
“Best wishes.”
“Bon voyage.”
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
“Congratulations.”
Callie and Brandt stopped near the end of the tunnel and kissed.
A roar went up from the crowd.
So sweet. Taryn sighed.
