Cali had spoken with her. Olivia had assured her that she had things under control and all was not as the photos and write up had made it seem. She was handling it.
Shar figured her sister could do worse—she was after all kissing the number one hottest ticket in Hollywood. Having her photo splashed across a magazine cover was probably a small price to pay for a kiss like that.
Then again, the only kiss Shar was interested in was the one Gage would give her when the preacher said, “You may kiss the bride.”
Today she was selfish, this was her and Gage’s day. She’d worry about Olivia later.
As the music started and she and her dad began walking down the path that led to Gage she saw him and her heart soared with the sea gulls drifting on the clouds in the soft blue sky.
His gaze locked with hers, and butterflies danced inside of her. She had to hold herself back and walk with her dad at the appointed pace but it was the longest walk she’d ever made.
She thought of the first day she’d seen Gage, jogging out of the surf to help her rescue a sea turtle. Even in that moment she felt a connection and it was one that would last a lifetime.
He smiled as she took her place in front of him and they joined hands. The sea air surrounded them, the gentle surf serenaded them as the pastor began leading the ceremony. They only had eyes for each other. And when the pastor said, “You may kiss your bride” Shar’s heart thundered and she could not stop the smile that exploded across her face…Gage hitched a brow, winked one of his beautiful sea toned eyes at her and then he wrapped her in his arms. “I’d sweep you into my arms if it weren’t for my wound,” he said, and then he kissed her with all of his heart.
“I love you Mrs. Lancaster,” he said after a long moment.
And I love you,” Shar murmured, then tugged his head back to hers and continued the kiss. This kiss was going to go on forever.
