CHAPTER 25

CONNOR

“That conversation looked serious,” I murmur once Mildred is back at my side.

“His eyes are finally opening,” she replies.

“You told him why you married me?”

Dred side-eyes me. “No.”

“Then wh—” I glance over at Tally and Fee, whose heads are together. “The coach’s daughter has a crush.”

She hums. “Speaking of crushes, and getting over them, Callie seems to be smitten.”

The music has changed to something more upbeat, but Kodiak is wrapped around Lavender like it’s a slow song. In front of them, Tally, Fee, and Callie have started dancing with Everly and Victor. Callie looks up at Victor with stars in her eyes. And every so often, Tally’s gaze moves across the room to where Flip is standing with Tristan and a few of our teammates, talking.

Meems approaches, arm laced with Isabelle’s.

“Everything okay?” I ask.

“Everything is wonderful.” Meems takes one of our hands in each of hers. “You two are beautiful together. I’m so thrilled I could be here to celebrate this day.”

“Us too, Meems.” I fold her into a gentle hug, and Mildred does the same.

She whispers something to Meems that makes her laugh.

“I’m going to walk Meems out to the car,” Isabelle says.

“I can do that,” I reply.

“I can come, too,” Mildred offers.

“No, you join your friends on the dance floor.” I tip my chin toward the Terror women. “You too, Izzy.”

“Feel free to join us when you get back.” Mildred kisses the edge of my jaw, links arms with Izzy, and shimmies over to her friends.

I walk Meems out of the reception, and we take the elevator to the lobby.

“Those twins from the library absolutely adore Dred,” she notes.

“They do,” I agree.

“She loves them, too,” she adds.

“She has a big heart.”

“She’s good for you.” Meems pats my hand.

“I think so, too.”

When I return, my eyes are on the dance floor, but I’m cornered by my father and a few of his business associates and am sucked into a dry conversation I couldn’t care less about. Eventually I’m able to excuse myself and join Kodiak and some of the guys from my team, who are hanging out by the bar, watching the women dancing.

I give Mildred her space to enjoy the evening, since we’ll be spending the next few days together, just the two of us, for our honeymoon. The flush in her cheeks and her glassy eyes toward the end of the night tell me she’s enjoyed the champagne. I can’t blame her. I’ve had a few glasses myself. It’s been quite the gauntlet since we started down this road a mere handful of weeks ago.

A little after midnight, I whisk my bride off her feet and carry her out of the ballroom while she waves to her friends and everyone throws confetti. Once the doors close behind us and the cameras stop flashing, we head up to the wedding suite. Mildred is quiet in the elevator, and I don’t force conversation.

We exit on our floor and walk together until she stands in front of the double doors.
