“You okay?” Carina broke away from the group to check on me. “You look a little overwhelmed.”
“Yeah. I’m just taking it all in.” I pulled her close and pressed a gentle kiss on her mouth. “I love you.” Out of everyone here, she was my constant, my anchor, my home.
“I love you too,” she murmured, her lips brushing mine.
And in that moment, everything felt exactly as it should.

Asher and Vincent beelined over to say hi to their wives. Vincent and Brooklyn had gotten married a few months after my wedding with Carina, and Scarlett was pregnant with her and Asher’s second child. Their first was an adorable little boy named Jude.

“my head echoed with Adil’s voice instead of Asher’s.
When you know, you know.
And when I looked at Carina, standing there beneath the flower-covered arch, her face illuminated by the sun and her eyes shining with joy, I knew—with every fiber of my being, every piece of my soul—that I was going to marry her one day.”

But do you think I haven’t missed you? That I haven’t lain awake every night, wishing you were here? It’s been fucking hell, and this house…it hasn’t been the same without you. I haven’t been the same without you.”
