Coming Home (The Morgans)

Tears now streamed down Tori’s face as she watched him take the ring from the box. As he held it suspended, waiting to place it on her hand, he asked again.
“Will you be my wife forever and always?”
She nodded her affirmation because she didn’t think she could speak.
He placed the ring on her finger, and she couldn’t hold back. She leaped into his arms, her lips finding his. Forgetting they were in a barn filled with people, their love was cemented with an endless kiss.
Well, endless until the thundering applause broke through their euphoria.
She broke away, burying her face in his neck. He held her tightly, never intending to let her go.
“I love you, Drue, forever and always.”
He cupped her face and placed a chaste kiss on her lips.
“Welcome Home, Victoria. Welcome Home.”

“Come on, Tori! Sit still. I’m almost finished.”
Katy put the last of several beaded bobby pins in Tori’s hair. It had been pulled up on top of her head, but pieces cascaded down her back with daisies placed throughout.
“You look amazing, Tori. I don’t know if Drue will make it through the ceremony without his alpha side throwing you over his shoulder and taking you in the barn.”
She felt beautiful but more because of what was on the inside. She had to admit she didn’t look half bad for a bride, her dress a traditional floor-length gown adorned with lace around the edges. It was cut straight across her chest and rested just below her shoulders.
She couldn’t believe it had been just six short months ago that Drue had proposed.
Since then she had moved back from Chicago. They were going to make her grandparents’ house their home.
Her job had agreed to let her continue her employment from here as she was one of their best editors. On top of that, she had already mapped out her next book.
Her first release had steadily climbed the NY Best Sellers lists. She couldn’t be happier.
“Are you ready? I think it’s time.” Katy said as she heard Mr. and Mrs. Morgan knock at the door.
Mrs. Morgan was already in tears. “Honey, I am so happy for both of you. We love you so much.”
Mr. Morgan was walking her down the aisle.
“You’ve always been a part of this family. I am very pleased to see that be made official today.” He kissed her cheek.
“Are you ready? I think my son has worn a hole in the carpet pacing back and forth. If we don’t get you out there, I’m pretty sure he will come and get you himself.”
Tori had no doubt that he would. She loved the fact that he was not willing to let anything stand in the way of them being together.
They had decided to marry on the adjoining two properties that had brought them all together in the first place.
It was a beautiful April day for a wedding. Katy was her maid-of-honor and Kevin was Drue’s best man.
She had watched the two of them together over the last week and thought she had seen a spark a time or two. Wouldn’t it be something if…well, she guessed she better focus on her own match at the moment before worrying about her two best friends.
The wedding march signaled to her it was time. Everyone stood as Mr. Morgan walked her down the aisle that was lined with daisies. The bright yellow ribbons danced in the breeze as she made her way to Drue.
His eyes were intense as they locked with hers. She felt no fear as she drew closer to him only anticipation.
Mr. Morgan handed her over to Drue, and he clasped her hand tightly not letting go.
Over his shoulder she saw Kevin smile and wink at her.
Her heart overflowed with happiness. She couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
She had truly come home.
