We did, however, start our own wedding wish list.

The only thing on mine? Marry the woman of my dreams.

I don’t care about all the other details. That’s Odette’s thing. I just want to marry her.

“It’s no big deal.”

I grin. It is a big deal. It’s always a big deal, but he does it anyway.

And it only makes me love him more.

I’m okay with being scared if it means being scared with you.

I believe in us, and that’s a whole hell of a lot stronger than any curse because you’re my right person, and I want you to be my future too.

“Come enjoy the fruits of your loom.”

“Don’t you mean labor?”

“Bah. Whatever.”

A liberation celebration!

went through this awful thing yesterday, yet here she is smiling and laughing, and still believing in love.

I’m glad. I don’t want her to sit around miserable like I did for years. I don’t want her to swear off relationships or marriage or getting close to someone just because she’s scared of getting hurt again.

You both feel like you’re doomed to fail because of your past. But you’re not your past. We’re in the here and now. Things change. People change. Circumstances change.

understand why she got scared, though. I know what it’s like to have your future ripped out from under you.

Yeah, and so do I. Join the club. BYOS.

BYOS?

Bring your own snacks.

She and Craig might have done things a little backward, having already bought a house together, but they want to do the night before the wedding the traditional way. The rehearsal dinner is the last time they’ll see each other until tomorrow’s ceremony.
