“No,” Whitney said, “I think she’ll get along fine without me tonight. But I did promise to tell her our whole story one of these days.”
“Well, then,” Chris said, taking her arm and leading her toward the edge of the lawn. “It all started about two weeks ago. I was at the airport when I noticed the most beautiful girl I had ever seen trapped in a revolving door with an enormous red suitcase.”
Whitney punched him on the arm. “Better just skip to the part where we live happily ever after,” she said.
They walked through the lighted pavilion now deserted by the other guests in favor of the food and drink tables. He pulled her close under the twinkling lights and kissed her and suddenly took one step back. Whitney hardly had time to react before she realized he was down on one knee in front of her.
“I love you, Whitney.”
“I love you, too,” she whispered.
“Will you live happily ever after with me?” he asked.
She could hardly breathe. Maybe it was the warm tropical air, the excitement of the beautiful wedding, the lights. No, she knew what it was.
“Yes,” she said. He stood and crushed her into a powerful embrace.
“Do you think they rent this place out for weddings?” he asked.
“I think you might have to know the owners,” she whispered, emotion rushing through her voice.
Whitney looked into Chris’ eyes, the white lights reflecting in the blue like the sun on the waves. She felt a rush of heat and love as he pulled her close and kissed her with such abandon that several guests noticed and started clinking their spoons on glasses.
“Then I think I’d better get busy making friends with them,” he said.
THE END
ABOUT AMIE DENMAN
Amie Denman lives in a small town in her native Ohio with her husband and sons. Her two cats and large yellow Labrador are kind enough to share a sunny office where she lets her imagination run wild. Reading books was her favorite escape as a child, and growing up four houses away from the community library encouraged her addition. When she’s not reading or writing, she enjoys walking and running outside. The helpless victim of a lifetime of curiosity, she’s been known to chase fire trucks on her bicycle just to see what’s going on. Amie believes that everything is fun: especially roller coasters, wedding cake, and falling in love.
