He scooted us both up on the bed and turned off the light.
I’d moved off of him and cuddled up beside him.
“I can’t wait for our life together to start,” I told him softly as I closed my eyes.
He tightened his arm around my waist and kissed my forehead. “I think my life started the day you walked in my door to deliver that stuff from Millie.”
My heart tripped after he’d said those words, and I smiled as I started to drift off to sleep.
My man might claim he had no romance in his soul, but he was wrong.
He said the sweetest and most romantic things in the world without even knowing it.

Four Months Later…
“Do you think he’s okay?” I asked in a concerned voice as I looked over at Asher.
“Stop worrying about Asher,” my handsome groom said as he grinned at me.
Cole and I were now officially married.
We’d transformed the backyard into our wedding venue, and now it was set up for the reception.
We’d lucked out and gotten the perfect weather for an outdoor wedding and reception. We’d had a backup plan but hadn’t needed to use it.
Millie, Hannah, Reese, and Anna had been a huge help in planning the wedding, and Cole had been there whenever I needed him.
Honestly, it had been far easier than I’d thought it would be with so many people willing to help out.
The last several months had been like a dream for me.
Cole had hired all the help I needed, and I’d managed to move in with him two weeks after he’d proposed.
Living together had added a whole new dimension to our relationship. We were literally in the same home twenty-four-seven. Cole had converted one of the many bedrooms upstairs into the perfect office for me. We didn’t see each other all the time, but it was nice to have breakfast and dinner together every single night.
Preparing for the wedding had been so much less complicated once I was actually living on the ranch.
I’d said goodbye to my home and put it on the market with no regrets.
I loved my little home, but it had served its purpose.
I’d proved that I could be a success all by myself.
Now, all I wanted to do was live my life with the man I loved.
I glanced at Cole, admiring how handsome he looked in his tuxedo.
I’d chosen an ivory gown that I’d fallen in love with as soon as Hannah, Reese, Anna, and I had hit our first bridal store.
Reese had been my matron of honor. Hannah and Anna were my bridesmaids.
Antisocial or not, Asher had been at Cole’s side for every single one of the wedding events because he was Cole’s best man.
I’d asked Tanner to give me away, and Cole had asked Kaleb and Devon to stand up for him.
Since our engagement, Cole had grown even closer to his cousins, and he was actually happy to attend family events now.
