CHAPTER 25

TEAGAN ARRIVED AT the swanky Château du Muguet and allowed the sharply dressed valet to park his car.

He straightened his tuxedo, pulling the minute wrinkles from the fine cloth, before heading inside.

The air was clean—a sharp difference from the usual Los Angeles muck that clogged the skies—but Big Bear Lake was a far cry from the crowded city.

Teagan was ushered down an expansive hallway, his dress shoes clicking as he went, to a private room where the groom’s party was supposed to be hiding out until given the green light to start the processional.

But as Teagan entered the room, he saw only Stuart, dressed neatly in a fine black tuxedo, nervously adjusting his cuff links. Stuart broke into a warm smile as Teagan entered, gesturing for him to come and join him.

“Where’s the rest of your party?” he asked, confused. “Am I too early?”

“You’re perfectly on time,” Stuart reassured Teagan. Then he turned to face Teagan, chin lifted high for his assessment. “How do I look?”

“You look great,” Teagan said with a puzzled smile. “But I’m a little confused…”

“Ah, right, yes, about that… Vanessa and I only wanted the people who meant the most to us to share in our special day. It was only fitting that we invite you and Harper to join our children for our wedding. Vanessa’s daughter and my two sons are here as well. I think you’ll really get on with them. Good people.”

Teagan could only nod as the import of what Stuart had shared rolled over him. “Harper?” he repeated. “Did she come?”

“Yes.”

“She’s here?” The breath felt stuck in his lungs. “Does she know that I’m here?”

“I doubt it. She’s cloistered away with my beautiful bride.”

Teagan nodded, his mouth suddenly dry. “Do you have something I could drink? Water? Beer? Anything?”

Stuart chuckled and pointed to the minifridge. “Help yourself.”

Harper.

He’d known there was a slight possibility that she might come, but honestly, he’d talked himself into accepting that Harper wouldn’t.

And now that he was faced with the realization that he was about to see her again, he couldn’t stop shaking.

Great, maybe he had the flu.

Another sharply dressed person politely informed Stuart that they were ready to begin and Stuart drew himself up to his full stature, looking happier than any man had a right to be.

“Are you ready?” Stuart asked.

Teagan chuckled weakly. “Isn’t that my line?”

“Son, I’ve already done this once before. I know what I’m doing and I have no regrets. She’s the one. Through thick and thin and whatever time we have left on this planet, Vanessa is my other half. And I can’t wait to get on with it.”

Stuart made it sound so eloquently simple.

But life wasn’t that uncomplicated.

Or maybe it was.

Hell, he didn’t know anymore.

“You’re a good man,” Teagan choked out, not sure if he was choking on his own emotion or the admiration he had for Stuart.

Stuart grinned and patted Teagan’s face. “Let’s do this,” he said, placing the ring in Teagan’s hand for safekeeping. “My bride awaits.
