Four years laterâ¦
âKnock, knock,â my dad says as he enters the small room. âAre you doing okay?â He smiles as he comes to stand in front of me and helps me with my bowtie.
âIâm just ready to see her.â I flex my hands a little at my sides, and Iâm not sure why Iâm nervous.
âShe feels the exact same way.â
âYou saw her already?â Hope springs in my chest.
âI just left her room, and she would very much like to see you before the ceremony.â He places his hands on my shoulders. âI think it would go a long way to calm her down.â
âBut she was so insistent I didnât see her dress.â Part of me wants to run out of here, and the rest of me wonders if sheâll regret not waiting a few more moments.
âIf you want, you can stand outside her door. Maybe that will be enough for her.â
âOkay.â I nod, already in motion.
âIâll go check on Anna,â he says as he makes his way over to where sheâs standing.
Celeste is on the other side of the estate, getting ready in the room thatâs usually reserved for afternoon tea. The space was big enough to hold all of the people pampering her today and close enough to the outside terrace where weâre having the ceremony. I've been shoved into the wine room so I wasnât tempted to go after her.
With a light knock on the door, I place my ear against it. âCeleste?â I hear the click of her heels rush to the door, and I grab the knob before she pulls the door open. âBeautiful, Iâm right here, and I know how much you wanted this dress to be a surprise.â
âApollo, I just need to see your face, and then Iâll be okay.â I feel her press against the door.
Closing my eyes tightly, I groan. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI donât know. I think Iâm just scared of all of those people staring at me.â
âSo my idea of a Vegas weekend is sounding like it was the better option?â
âYouâre an ass,â she says, but I can hear the smile in her voice.
âCome on, you know theyâll all be looking at me anyway,â I tease, and I can practically hear her rolling her eyes.
âYou would think that.â She lets out a long sigh, and my heart aches to hold her.
Even all these years later, I canât stand to be separated. We graduated college two months ago, and she agreed to marry me the second we were finished. She also agreed to stop taking her birth control then too. My plan is for a honeymoon baby, because thereâs nothing more Iâm ready for than to become a father and start a family. Iâm sure some people think weâre still rushing into this, but Iâve known from the moment we met that she was it for me. Why delay the inevitable when we can spend the rest of our lives living our dream?
âWant me to come in?â I ask softly.
âNo.â She pauses. âYes.â
âHow about I keep my eyes closed?â I offer.
