Matteo and I married today!

It wasn’t at all like my first wedding. It was so much better. Private, intimate, meant only to join two hearts. Shared only between two hearts. Months ago Matteo met a man while we had brunch a beautiful restaurant in town. They’d struck up easy conversation then. Over the months he and Alarico formed a tight bond. And thank God for that. Alarico is a surprisingly well-connected man. Between him and the private investigator we hired to track Gabriel, we’ve managed to give ourselves new identities. Papers, IDs and all. It is because of this I was able to have the most splendid moment with Teo.

The sun shone down on us, heavenly in its glare, while the minister from the local church married us. I was impossible to ignore a man like my Teo. It was a crime against nature and I knew that with all of my heart. I am the luckiest woman alive. When the minister declared us Mr. and Mrs. Grant we’d shared a look and laughed heartily before he swept me up in a kiss that devoured my very soul. Jezebel and Ahab Grant. They were ludacris names, stolen from history.

It doesn’t matter though; to each other we are Cece and Teo. The world outside us doesn’t really exist. My Teo. My heart is so full. He sleeps so soundly next to me right now as I scribble this memory down. I am content. I am wrapped up in his love so wholly that everything else that eats at me disappears. It is divine.

Matteo closed the journal, a smile played on his lips. Hi retrieved a cigarette, lit it and enjoyed the sensation of smoke as it filled his lungs. Their life had been more than just Gabriel and revenge and plotting. Her entries in her journal had over the years become her outlet but the moments they’d shared away from those dark thoughts had been magic.

Their time in Spain had been spent dining, walking and dancing in the small town they resided in. They had long hot nights and lazy mornings. Just after their wedding he’d caught her flipping to a blank page in her journal and furiously scribbling on the page. He’d stilled her hand.

“Teo,” she murmured, placing the pen in the crease of the journal and closing it.“Let me take this fury from you. Let me go and just take care of him, of her.”

“You would lose everything, Teo,” she’d said in a hoarse whisper.

“I don’t care anymore.” He’d leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. She kissed him back angry and hard. “I would lay down my life for you Cece. I would take the weight of it all to make you happy.” She’d stared up at him, her eyes devouring his. He saw the moment she understood the depth of his love for her. Truly understood.

“We will do this together. We will, and we will be free when it ends.”

That particular evening had been fiery and passionate.
