I stood in the yard, holding Bishop’s hands like a lifeline. He was as handsome as ever in his suit and tie, a small rosebud pinned to the lapel. I wore a white, sleeveless summer sundress that had eyelet lace in the perfect places to make it look like it was made for the occasion. I could tell he appreciated the way it hugged what little bit of figure I did have. His eyes had drifted from my face to my chest several times before grabbing my gaze again with those beautiful sapphire green eyes.

Hay-Hay and Brady had shown up dressed in their Sunday best, ready to be witnesses for the surprise matrimony. Brady didn’t ask any questions, which meant his wife had filled him in on the reasons behind the nuptials. I was thankful. I didn’t want to explain it to yet another person, but Brady would have to know the truth. I wouldn’t ask my best friend to lie to the man she loved. As far as everyone else in this town was concerned, though, including my parents, we were marrying for love.

I eyed the man in front of me again and sighed outwardly. He was so dreamy, and I would so marry him for love. I couldn’t say I was there yet, was I? Lust? Absolutely. Like? That’s a solid yes. He’s kind, considerate, compassionate, and helpful. All of those things are what makes him sexy as hell in my eyes. But people don’t fall in love at first sight, right? I thought back to the first time we met and wondered why he was still hanging around my pathetic butt. He kept coming back, though, over and over to cheer me up and now, to help me stand on my own two feet, quite literally.

I was surprised to learn that the secretary from the elementary school, Lucy Novarty, was also an ordained minister à la the internet. Bishop had asked her to officiate the ceremony. Admittedly, I was uncomfortable with the school secretary, who used to make sure I had a barf bucket on my lap while I waited for my mom to pick me up, was now marrying me, but I understood why he asked her. This marriage would now be legit in the eyes of everyone in the school district. I made eyes at him, batting my lashes and smiling coyly while Lucy started her opening remarks. Since it was just the five of us in Bishop’s backyard on a Tuesday evening, we told her the bare minimum to join us legally was all that was necessary. It didn’t look like she was going to listen to us, though. She had already launched into a story about how she knew Hay-Hay and I would be something big in this community from the day we walked into kindergarten.

Bishop smiled and winked at me, clearly enjoying the story she was telling about the antics I used to participate in at the elementary school. He was unknown to everyone in this town still, but I was not.
