Friendly faces that have been part of my life for years.
But I barely see them.
Because at the end of the aisle—he’s standing there.
J.T.—my soon to be husband.
He’s tall and solid in a gray linen suit that barely contains the breadth of his shoulders.His eyes are a deep emerald green that matches the mountains behind him.
His hair and beard are neatly trimmed, the silver threaded through it glints in the sunlight.His big hands are clasped loosely in front of him.
But it’s like he knows I’m coming because his gaze locks onto mine the moment I step into view.
Then everything else fades away.
The mountains.
The guests.
The swans gliding silently behind him.
All of it disappears.
There’s just him.
Looking at me like I’m the only thing in the world worth seeing.
The chaos of the morning melts away.
The doubts.
The nerves.
Even the complicated reasons that started all of this.
Because standing here now, I know the truth.
Yes, I might have started this marriage because I needed safety.
Because I needed security for me and Evan.
But there was never going to be anyone else.
Not after J.T.offered me an indecent proposal that one fateful night.
Not after the way he looks at me now.
Not after the way he loves me and my son.
Because J.T.Lawrence isn’t just the man waiting at the end of this aisle.
He’s the man I love.

My nerves are shot.
