The walk from the altar to the front doors of the chapel was hazardous. Drew and Josh weren’t tossing rice gently, but pelting Beau and Scarlett as hard as they could with it. Their walk quickly turned into a run, and when they pushed open the doors to where Beau was told his vehicle would be waiting, they finally found relief from their attackers.

He was surprised to see that his truck had “Just Married” scrawled across the back window, and cans tied to his bumper. He immediately blamed the two hooligans they had just left behind. Scarlett was laughing as they stopped by the passenger door to his truck, and she smiled at him as he opened it and held out his hand to help her climb up into the cab. After making sure all of the fabric from her dress was safely inside, he closed the door and walked around to the driver’s side.

“This is my first time riding in a pickup truck,” Scarlett admitted.

He put the truck in drive. “You’re joking, right?” Although from her use of the term “pickup truck,” he had a feeling she wasn’t.

“Not at all.” She laughed and shifted in her seat. She was clearly still a little nervous.

That fire in her eyes couldn’t be covered up by her nerves.

“This is kind of awkward, but do we just make our own plans from here on out? Lachele didn’t say what would be happening after the wedding, and I’m—I’m just wondering what to expect. I know we’re married, but we’re still practically strangers. Am I to stay with you tonight?” Scarlett’s voice got higher and higher as she spoke, and Beau had to laugh.

They stopped at a red light, and Beau turned to her. She was still looking out her window, and it made him smile. Who knew she would be so shy? The curiosity that had been sparked in him earlier started to blaze. She wasn’t really what he’d expected, but he liked it. He reached across the middle console and put his hand under her chin, gently turning her face toward him.
