When the women leave, Alicia turns to us with a smile. “Congratulations, both of you. I’m so happy for you.”
“Thanks, Ave,” Hunter embraces her in a hug. I catch sight of her face, pressed against his shoulder for a minute, and I swear, I see tears in the corners of her eyes. But when she pulls back, her smile is fixed back in place.
“I won’t keep you any longer.” She tells us. “Go, dance, before anyone else pounces!”
The band starts to play, and through my pounding heartbeat I realize, it’s our song.
Meet me in outer space…
When was it we first heard this play? It could have been a week, or a hundred years, I don’t know the difference anymore. There is only before Hunter, and now, with him.
“May I have this dance?” Hunter grins at me, and just like that, the rest of the world falls away. The crowd melts back in my vision, and all I see is him, heartstoppingly beautiful as he pulls me into his arms.
We slowly sway, holding each other close in the middle of the floor. I can feel his heart beating against me, my head resting on his chest. Happiness washes over me, a wave of pure contentment. This is where I belong, forever now. No matter what it takes, I’ve been given something too precious to ever let it slip away.
“You were right,” I murmur.
Hunter looks down with a puzzled expression.
I smile. “About fairytale princes, and happy endings,” I explain, tracing over his heart. My heart now. “Magic is real,” I tell him, “It’s you and me. Together. Always.
“I believe.”
Lacey James is wild, spontaneous and up for anything.
Daniel Sullivan is careful, sensible, and nursing a broken heart.
It’s a match nobody saw coming, but when the unlikely pair get stranded together on the way home for the holidays, Lacey finds her long term crush impossible to ignore. And as the snow keeps falling, and the temperature inside blazes hotter, Daniel discovers that the one girl he wants more than anything is the last person he expected.
But when the snow melts, will their night together be more than just a memory? And will they make it to Beachwood Bay in time for the wedding of the year?
