The rest of the day was perfect, as far as she was concerned. They had time for a short stroll along the River Walk before dinner. As they walked along the wide stone pathway, occasionally passing beneath the graceful trees that arched over the green currents of water, Kane held her hand, his thumb brushing absently over the ring he’d put on her finger. They didn’t talk much, and she wondered if his body felt as tingly as hers did, as if each cell had been sensitized by their earlier lovemaking.

Dinner was at Boudro’s on the River Walk, and he’d specifically requested a table right beside the river. There was a bottle of champagne chilling in a silver bucket and a large spray of white roses graced the table to which the maître d’ led them. She could feel tears rising in her eyes, and she turned to him, lifting herself on tiptoe to kiss his newly-shaven jaw.

“Thank you,” she said, “For making this so special.”

“I wanted it to be special,” he said. “This is the first day of our lives together. It should be memorable, something we can tell our children.” He grinned. “God knows, we’re going to have to censor what we tell them about how we first met!”

She made a face at him. “We worked together,” she summarized. “And one day we just realized we wanted to get married.”

“A little skimpy on details, isn’t it?” Kane chuckled. “You’d better hope we have a son instead of a daughter. I can’t imagine a girl being satisfied with a wimpy explanation like that.”

Son…daughter. His handsome features blurred around the edges as she gazed at him across the table and her happiness faded slightly. She’d been feeling the heavy, bloated feeling that usually preceded her period for the past few days. She doubted that they were going to have to worry about an unplanned pregnancy, and though she should be pleased, she wanted Kane’s baby so badly…

“What’s wrong?” He reached around the lighted candle centerpiece and took her hands in his.

“Nothing.” She managed a smile. “I was just thinking about how lovely the ceremony was.”

He accepted her words at face value, thanking her for the way she’d let his mother help with the wedding, and then the waiter came to take their order.

Their loveplay continued during dinner. She slipped her foot out of her sandal and rubbed it lightly up his leg; he nearly jumped out of his chair. “Stop that,” he muttered, trying his best to scowl at her. “Or the other diners are going to get a shock when I stand up.”

She was giggling helplessly as she removed her foot.

“If I can stand up,” he added.

When the meal ended, the same waiter brought out a single slice of lemon cake for them to share. She was touched. Kane had recently learned that lemon cake was one of her weaknesses. For a man who hadn’t had time to take a honeymoon, he certainly had put a great deal of thought into making this one evening special for her.
