Closing her eyes briefly, she heard her friend’s voice again.
It’s going to be all right.
Was it?
So much had happened.
Getting engaged to Beau …
Selling the business …
Planning the move …
And Phoebe’s brother, Curt, agreeing, after a wildly successful holiday visit, to turn over custody of Spencer to Jordan and Beau.
But that was when everything had fallen into place at last.
Phoebe would have wanted it that way, Curt had said. Spencer needs a mother. And a father. Sisters and brothers.
Well, perhaps just one to start, Jordan thought.
She was certain there was an answering flutter in her womb.
Opening her eyes, she looked up again at the front of the church.
Where is he?
She knew that if she could just see him …
Where is he?
She scanned the church.
And felt a flicker of panic.
Then Andrea MacDuff, seated in the second pew on the right and wearing a large hat, moved her head.
That was when Jordan saw him.
Beau.
He was looking toward the back of the church, his chin lifted and body slightly tilted to see past the crowded pews, as if he were searching for something.
He saw her.
Their gazes collided.
He smiled.
She smiled.
That was when she knew that everything really would be all right.
And the last shred of fear evaporated.
“Here you go,” her father said, giving her hand a squeeze.
“Yes,” Jordan said. “Here I go.”
And as the Wedding March played, she walked down the aisle toward her groom, their little boy … and happily ever after at last.
