I never put much thought into my wedding day. I guess most guys don't. But now that the moment is here, my nerves are beating me like a motherfucker. Of all the feelings I’d anticipated, being scared shitless was not one of them. My chest is pounding so hard. I can feel a thousand anxious thoughts throbbing inside my head.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

I stand at the makeshift altar on the rooftop above the bridal shop. My eyes scan over the crowd. There are more people than I expected to see today, despite our efforts to keep this small. In the groom’s section, there are my parents, Walker, and best of all, my grandfather. The people who matter most to me. Well, most of them. I know I said I didn't care who shows up but it feels a little odd that my other two brothers aren't here. I'm feeling the absence of Jude and Eli.

Meanwhile, Lexi’s section is overflowing—of course it is, given how popular she is around town—many of them I recognize as the people I evicted.

Not awkward at all.

She wasn’t exaggerating when she talked about the other business owners. She really cares for each and every one of these individuals, and it’s clear they support her, too. All of Crescent Harbor loves the woman. And as I'm standing here on this rooftop overlooking the town, the idea that I could fall a little bit in love with her doesn't seem so farfetched anymore. Maybe, some way this fake marriage could lead to real feelings.

Why the hell not? Everything about Alexia Robson feels made for me. Never have I met a woman who could take my bullshit and meet me blow for blow. And the way her body feels under my hands, the way her lips meld with mine makes me second guess myself.

I try hard to not feel like a fraud up here. With Walker and my father’s dark gazes on me, it’s hard to ignore the fact that I’m lying to everyone. I try to focus on Ma’s eager smile instead.

The gentle sounds of a harp fill the air, and my pulse races. Jessa accompanies Callie down the small aisle. My niece beams at Lexi’s sister as she sprinkles the carpet with flower petals. I smile at the sight. Callie might be a tiny mischievous monkey most days, but today, she’s on her best behavior.

The unmistakable sound of the traditional wedding march commences, signaling that my bride is next to follow. Moments move by in sort of a slow, watery blur. Lexi appears at the other end of the aisle. She looks like a dream in white silk and lace. The crowd gasps at the sight of her but she can't take her eyes off of me. I can’t take my eyes off of her, either.

At first, her expression is guarded, like she's having second thoughts, like she might back out at the last minute. But then I give her a smile and I'm sure that all the raw emotions coursing through me bleed out onto my face.
