Thank goodness, I grabbed it first. The bouquet was mine, all hundred and twenty-five dollars’ worth of it.

The crowd cheered, especially my father, who must’ve taken it as a sign straight from above. He walked over to Derrick, patted him on the back, and then said something that made my fella laugh.

Derrick looked my way and shrugged. I returned the gesture and then held the bouquet close, concerned that Sienna might still try to nab it. Behind me, I heard my grandmother’s voice ring out. “I told you, precious girl.”

I turned to face her. “Told me what?”

“Sometimes, the Lord, he—”

“I know, I know.” Laughter followed on my end. “Don’t say it, Grandma Nellie.”

Derrick stepped into the spot beside me, his brow wrinkled in obvious confusion. “Don’t say what?”

“Oh, nothing.” I tried not to giggle when my grandmother jabbed me with her elbow.

Derrick extended his hand and then gave me a little nod. “Could I interest you in another dance, Ms. Hays?”

“Absolutely.” I pressed the bouquet into Grandma Nellie’s hands and then took his arm. “You certainly may, Mr. Richardson.”

I couldn’t help but notice the photographer snap our picture as we headed out to the dance floor. I didn’t mind, as long as it didn’t end up on the front page of the sports section. Or, heaven forbid, the society column. I cringed just thinking about that one.

Then again, dating a guy as famous as Derrick probably meant my whole life would change, once the tabloids caught on. Maybe I’d better prepare for life in the spotlight. And while I was at it, I’d prepare for a lot of baseball games in my future. Knowing this wonderful fella was on my team suddenly made the sport much more appealing.

And, as he took me for a spin around the dance floor, I had to admit one other thing as well. I might not be the maid of honor at this shindig, but this guy—this awesome, Godly guy—was certainly the best man for me.
