Mac had thought Peggy’s brother would give her away. And since Peggy had balked at a wedding rehearsal, saying, “How hard can it be to walk a straight line?” he hadn’t pressed.

But he hadn’t been prepared. Not for this.

The woman who’d captured his heart was walking toward him hand-in-hand with the little boy he already thought of as his son. And she was wearing the ruby pendant he’d given her. As far as life moments went, this one was pure perfection, and he almost wished she’d walk slower so he could savor it. But even with “Here Comes The Bride” being played by the orchestra he’d hired, she couldn’t stop herself from giving into her natural gait: a power walk.

Keith was grinning, and as soon as he cleared the last row of chairs decorated with roses in white and blush, he let go of his mom’s hand and ran to Mac.

“Dad!” he cried as Mac swept him up into his arms. “We’re getting married. Finally!”

“Amen,” Rhett added from the front row.

The guests all laughed, and Mac felt a grin tug at his mouth.

“I’m glad you brought your mom down the aisle,” he told Keith. “That was a nice surprise.”

“Mom said we both had to do it since you’ll be living with both of us now,” Keith said, his missing tooth utterly charming as he smiled back at Mac.

He was moving into her smaller house with them because she wasn’t comfortable with the thought of something grander yet. Honestly, he didn’t mind where they lived as long as they were there together.

His gaze shifted to Peggy, who seemed a bit out of her element, like she had no idea what to do with the bouquet in her hand. He gave his assistant a significant look, and as perceptive as always, she stepped forward and took the flowers before disappearing into the background.

“Give me a big hug, and then go sit by your Uncle Tanner,” Mac told Keith, squeezing him tight. “I need to say hi to your mom.”

Peggy was watching them patiently with a small smile, giving them their moment together.

As soon as he set the boy down, Keith ran over to Peggy and wrapped his arms around her. “Go get married, Mom.” Then he ran to the open chair next to his uncle.

“I’ll be a good father to him,” he told her quietly.

“I know,” she simply responded.

Mac covered the short distance between them, grabbed Peggy’s hand, and raised it to his lips for a kiss—simply to fluster her. “You look beautiful.”

“You look…like you.” Then she gave a charming blush. “I mean…you look handsome—like usual.”

The grin he’d been fighting broke free. She was still working on mastering compliments—the giving and the accepting of them. “The pendant suits you, my Warrior Bride,” he said, wanting to caress her cheek but refraining. There would be plenty of time for that later, once the guests departed.

“If you hadn’t come up with that story, I don’t think I could have worn it,” she said in that purely honest way of hers, fingering the ruby.
