My wedding day passes in a blur of unfamiliar faces.

I never imagined anything like this. It’s over the top, it’s absurd, it’s…

Expensive. It’s rich.

It’s so beyond my wildest dreams.

And yet…

I should be more excited.

All morning, I kept thinking, I should be happier… I should be more excited…

But it wasn’t until I was walking down that aisle and I saw Knox standing up there that my heart finally started to flutter.

And when he kissed me…

It’s odd. Knox is essentially a stranger to me. I mean, he’s been my boss for the last year but that doesn’t mean we know each other. And yet all I kept wanting was to be near him.

Because I didn’t know a single other person.

Finally though, I stood up there in front of the crowd of strangers, knowing full well that the people that want me dead are among them, and yet all I could see was him.

Knox made me smile… he made me happy. He made me excited to be up there on my wedding day.

I didn’t expect it. I thought seeing him up there would only make me feel worse. It’s a marriage of convenience, after all. It’s just a business deal.

I’m giving him this… and a baby.

He’s keeping me alive.

Easy, not big deal, just an exchange.

And yet seeing him made me happy.

I didn’t expect that… I didn’t expect it at all.

Afterward, at the reception, I stayed right by his side. He never once left me or walked off to do something else. He stuck close by, holding my hand for most of it. He introduced me to person after person, some of them rich and powerful, but mostly…

I just listened to him talk. I just felt his hand slip into mine, or slide along the small of my back.

I just felt him dancing close.

And it was magic.
