Sadie followed as the matron of honor. She winked at Cliff before taking her spot. He shook his head. Sadie gave him another warning last night about breaking Diana’s heart. He had every intention of keeping her heart safe for as long as they both should live.
If only she’d get here. Why did they put so many people in the wedding? All he needed was Diana and the ring, and he’d be a happy man.
The wedding march started, and he held his breath, waiting for that first glimpse of her. She appeared on her father’s arm, beaming like her world was alight with joy this day. He didn’t breathe until her hands were in his. He lifted them, kissing her knuckles. It wasn’t planned, but he couldn’t help himself.
The pastor’s words were a blur and Cliff almost missed his cue to say “I do,” he was so wrapped up in Diana’s loving gaze. This was what life was about. For too long, he’d stood on the sidelines. If he hadn’t said yes to being her fake fiancé, he would have missed out on being her husband.
“You may now kiss the bride.”
“I thought you’d never get there,” Cliff said just loud enough for Pastor Thomas and Diana to hear. She giggled and slipped her hands behind his neck, pulling him in for a kiss. He sure liked the way she drank him in, like she’d never get enough. He knew exactly how she felt. If he had ten lifetimes with Diana, it would always be one too short. Their love would burn on long after they were gone.
