Chapter Six

Dalton did his best to calm the motion of his knee as it jiggled up and down. The heel of his foot wouldn’t rest on the floor as he waited for Mandy to make an appearance. Reaching inside his suit pocket, he grabbed out the flask she’d given him as a gift and took a liberal drink of the Pappy Van Winkle she’d filled it with. It burned going down but it did wonders to calm his nerves.

They had decided the first time they saw each other would be before anyone else saw them. She’d been worried about being able to control her emotions and truth be told, he’d been kinda worried about his. Now, he sat in the back hallway of the clubhouse, waiting for her to appear.

His mind wandered as he tried to wait patiently. Everyone they knew and loved had congregated outside under tents with plenty of heaters inside to keep everyone comfortable. Thankfully there had been no freezing rain, although the temp had dipped down into the thirties. They were going to be able to pull this off; he knew it deep in his heart.

Behind him, he heard a door open and the voice of the family friend who would be marrying them.

“Dalton, if you’d get up and move backwards, I’ll direct Mandy to you so the two of you almost touch.”

He shook as he backed up, doing his best not to trip over his own two feet. He wanted to see her, wanted to turn around and get a good look at the woman who held his heart. He knew without a doubt that she’d be beautiful, she’d take his breath away and make his heart swell, but he wanted to tell her all of that.

“Okay, give me your hand.”

He did as the man instructed and almost gasped when he felt her smaller hand in his larger one.

“Whenever the two of you are ready, go for it.” He walked away, giving them a moment alone.

“Are you ready?” Mandy asked him. He could hear the tremble in her throat, the waver in her voice, could feel the shaking of her hand in his.

“Damn right I am.” And those words were the truest ones he’d ever spoken.

The journey they’d taken to get to this moment hadn’t been easy. There had been times when he’d wanted to give up, knew there were times when she’d wanted to give up. After what he’d pulled when he’d found out she was pregnant with Walker, he was beyond lucky to be here, in this situation, and he knew it. He’d spend the rest of his life making that dumb decision up to her.

She’d taken him back, welcomed him with open arms, and if he would turn around, she’d be his forever.

“On three?” he offered, wanting them to see each other at the same time.

“On three,” her voice echoed back, running through him. Her voice always calmed him, always let him know whatever storm of emotion he was feeling was almost over.
