~Asher~
She’s in my arms, which is exactly where she belongs, and where I intend to keep her for about the next sixty years. The music is soft and slow. Twinkling lights are in the trees overhead, the ancient oak trees are heavy with Spanish moss, and about fifty of our nearest and dearest are looking on as I dance with my wife for the first time.
“I’m so glad we had the wedding here,” Lila murmurs happily. “It was so nice of Kate to hook up with a family that has a gorgeous bed and breakfast in the bayou.”
“So nice of her,” I agree with a smirk. “You make me laugh.”
“I’ll make you laugh for a long time,” she says sweetly. Her long hair is swept back from her face, and the dress she’s in is amazing.
I know that ten years from now I won’t remember exactly what it looked like, but I’ll remember that she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
“You’re a good dancer,” she says.
“Those lessons paid off,” I reply and roll my eyes. “Why did we do the lessons again?”
“Because it was fun, and so we could dance here like this.”
“I don’t need lessons to dance with my wife.”
Her smile is bright and wide, and makes the breath catch in my lungs.
“You say the sweetest things. Is that going to stop now that I’m the ball and chain?”
I chuckle and kiss her forehead, breathing her in. “You’re not the ball and chain.”
“Battle-ax?”
“No.”
“The old lady?”
“Stop.” I kiss her lightly, earning applause from our family and friends. “You’re the best part of my life, Delila. From day one, life has been so easy with you. You fell into my lap on that plane, and since that moment, all I could see, all I wanted, was you.”
“You saved me,” she whispers in return. “And I don’t mean from Colin.”
“I know.”
She leans in and lays her cheek on my chest, breaking the hold we learned in class, and we’re just swaying back and forth now, under the twinkling lights, in the fresh night air of the bayou, and nothing has ever felt so right in my life.
