CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

Epilogue

"By the powers vested in me by the District of Columbia, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!" the judge said as the room erupted in shouts and cheers. I turned slightly to look over Mo's shoulder and saw Linc looking at me with a warm smile as Brant pulled his new bride to him and kissed her deeply.

It had been a rough couple of months as they'd straightened out the new contract with the Chinese manufacturers and I knew that Linc had been feeling the strain of traveling so much. Brant had been with him as the negotiated the terms and signed the final contracts, so the wedding planning had been left up to Mo and she'd enlisted me as backup.

She and I had spent many afternoons shopping for a dress and I'd finally begged Bix to come with us. It was no accident that she had dragged us to Murphy's Bridal and had Mo try on dress after dress as Bix examined each one and finally declared a dove gray Armani the one. And looking at Mo standing next to Brant, who'd been decked out in a custom-fitted Gucci suit, I knew that Bix had been right. They made a lovely couple and they were madly in love.

I looked back across the room and saw Linc coming toward me through the crowd of people who were pushing forward to wish the couple the best. His smile was one that I recognized as the one he wore when he had something important to tell me.

I'd first seen it the afternoon he'd declared his intentions at the reflecting pool, and it had taken months of effort on my part to coax it out again after I'd walked away saying I'd needed time to think. My talk with Bix had made me rethink my need to run, but it had been several days before I'd been able to tell Linc what I was feeling.

First, I had to go to Frank and accept his job offer. It was a tough conversation, but I'd negotiated the right to be able to take on additional international work so that I could satisfy my need to be on the move. Frank had been wounded by my initial reticence because he'd had to fight a battle with the paper's owner to keep me, but in the end, we patched things up when I agreed to stay.

Making peace with Linc had proved more difficult. When I'd walked away from him at the reflecting pool, he'd assumed that that was it, so he'd rebuilt his own defenses. When I'd shown up at his office to tell him that I was staying in Washington, he responded in typical wounded male fashion and simply nodded. It had taken me pulling out the stops in the feminine wiles department – and a little bit of daytime office sex – to heal the wound and give him a reason to believe me.

"That was a beautiful ceremony," I said, smiling up into his warm blue eyes.
