Who knew partying with a scooter could be so fun?

After the ceremony, I sail down the aisle with a huge grin on my face. It’s hard not to be giddy after that ceremony—the way I see it, Damien’s as much in love with Kate as she is with him. Maybe more. I think they murmured like a dozen I love yous after the vows, and I started blubbering.

It’s all so incredibly sweet, even for my dark heart.

I get a few claps as I scoot around the reception hall. Max laughs, and when I stop, he kisses me on the cheek.

During the party, the scooter stays with me, and I zoom around, talking with people, laughing, joking. The twinges of pain are ever-present, but manageable.

Max and I are never far from each other, and we always seem to be touching—either he’s steadying me with his hand on my back, or I’m leaning into him so I can catch another whiff of his delicious scent.

Eating’s no problem, of course, because I can stay in my seat. And because Max is next to me, flirting. Feeding me appetizers. Caressing my thigh under the table. He found a stool so I can prop up my foot, and like yesterday, secured an ice pack, which eases the pain.

He gives the funniest toast about Damien, something about when they were kids and how Damien is the most honorable man he knows, and that’s when I start getting misty-eyed again.

What is wrong with me? It’s like I’ve become a different woman overnight.

Damien is so honorable in caring for Kate. Sniffling, I give a toast for her.

“I can’t top Max’s storytelling ability,” I say, “But all I know is that Kate is the hardest working, most lovable, kindest person on the planet, and Damien is marrying an absolute angel made flesh.”

Jesus, this whole night makes me hope Damien and Kate stay together for eternity.

The DJ begins playing, and Kate and Damien sway to their first song—“At Last”—and then everyone floods the dance floor.

Of course, I can’t dance, but Max fixes that. During one slow song, he lifts me off the ground and twirls me around a few times. That’s when he plants a big, hard kiss on my lips. We’re in the middle of the dance floor, and I’m positive pretty much everyone in the reception notices. Okay, there’s a smattering of applause.

“You don’t mind the entire wedding sees that?” I ask, breathless. “I’m not used to men wanting to do anything but show me off on Instagram.”

He scowls. “Why would I? I don’t give a damn what people think or say. And my family wants me to be happy, and right now you’re making me really fucking happy. And I’d prefer to show you off in real life, not on social media, cupcake.”

My stomach fills with butterflies whenever he calls me cupcake.

He hoists me in his arms while telling Remy to set my scooter aside, and he’ll return to grab it in a little while.

“Are we going somewhere?” I ask, slinging my arm around his shoulders.
