“Then I’m honored to be included in that small group.” He smiled. “I think I’m going to make a captain out of her yet.”
“If you can get her back out on a boat after yesterday, I’ll believe in miracles.”
“That will make two of us.”
As the ceremony started Paul led Suzie down the aisle. Paul left her by the bridesmaids and took his place with the groomsmen. Suzie was relieved that the crime had been solved and everyone could relax.
Jason met Suzie’s eyes with a smile of gratitude. Then all attention shifted to the bride. Summer stepped out on the side deck of Dune House with her arm wrapped around her father’s. The sunlight caught the subtle jewels in her gown.
Each one sparkled as she began to walk towards Jason. That was what it looked like to Suzie. Summer’s gaze didn’t stray to her guests, to her father, or to any other family members. Her eyes locked to Jason’s the moment she took that first step, and remained there as her father pressed her hand into Jason’s. “I decided to add an inscription to our rings.” He smiled at Summer. “I know that we’ve both weathered a lot. I know that as we move forward in life we will face a lot more. But just as the ring says, I know that no matter what, as long as we are together, we will make it.”
“Through any storm.” Summer blinked back tears as she read the inscription. “Yes, Jason, through any storm.” She leaned forward and kissed him. The minister cleared his throat.
“Excuse me, it’s not time for that yet.”
Jason grinned as Summer blushed and pulled away. “Oh, it’s always time for that.” He winked at her. The crowd laughed and clapped. The minister blushed. As the ceremony continued Suzie’s heart warmed with the hope of what might come next. Perhaps the week began with murder, but it was ending with the promise of a new beginning, and all of the joy that would come with it. And she had no doubt that the future held many more unexpected surprises.
