Come with Me (Let It Be Me #2)

Liz smiled, moved by Ben’s words. She turned to look at the couple and saw Alex and Kayla kiss. It was so sweet.
“Alex and Kayla together is a force to be reckoned with,” Ben said. “Words that comes to mind when I think about them are generosity and selflessness. Alex found someone who has as large a heart as he does. I have no doubt in my mind that the love they share will be for forever. So let us raise our glasses for this wonderful couple.”
Everyone did just that. Ben walked to Alex and Kayla to hug each of them. Liz couldn’t help but be proud of both Ben and Alex. Ben has told her about both Alex’s and Kayla’s stories. The three of them were all amazing people.
Ben turned to walk back to her as the emcee called on Alex and Kayla for their first dance.
“That was beautiful,” Liz told Ben as he was close enough. He sat back down on the seat next to hers and took her hand.
“Thanks,” Ben said, leaning over to kiss her cheek.
They both turned to watch Alex and Kayla dance, as Ray LaMontagne sang “You are the Best Thing”. Alex and Kayla looked like they had their own little world, and Liz felt the hope that she could have that too.
“Come dance with me,” Ben said, close to her ear.
Liz twisted her head to look at him. She saw gentleness in his eyes; she couldn’t say no.
She nodded.
Ben stood up, gently pulling her up.
They slowly walked to the dance floor, and Liz wasn’t really aware of what was going on around them; she was just watching Ben’s back as he led her.
Ben stopped at the corner of the dance floor as a new slow song started, and Liz recognized it as “Hold You in My Arms”. It was perfect.
Liz rested her arms on Ben’s shoulders and held on to his neck as Ben wrapped his arms around her waist.
“I would never find a better woman for me, Liz,” he said softly.
Liz looked up into his eyes, feeling the tears immediately well. His lovely words rendered her speechless.
“I know we’ve only been together for a short while,” Ben said, “But I just know that the future would still be you and me. You are my forever.”
Liz was unable to stop the tears that rolled down her cheeks as Ben bent to kiss her. How has she become so lucky?
Liz knew she just got her happily ever after.
