“Wait,” she said, studying the wall. “My picture’s gone.”
“That’s the surprise.” Pop Pop picked up a frame from his nightstand. “You needed a new one.”
Her previous photo had been in the frame since high school, a candid of her with her mom, Bubbles, and Sunnie the night of her senior prom. The four of them had been standing in front of the mirror in her bedroom, laughing hysterically as Sunnie helped her fix her hair for the dance. It had been such an unguarded, joyful, fun moment, and Darcy had always loved it because it was so reflective of her relationship with the three most important women in her life.
Darcy gasped when she saw what Pop Pop had replaced it with. “Where did you get this?”
“We knew Ryder was coming to the pub that night, so I asked your aunt Nat to do a little undercover photography for me.”
Aunt Natalie was a professional photographer, and her work was always breathtaking because she managed to capture so much in just one frame.
Somehow, unbeknownst to Darcy, her aunt had taken a photograph of her and Ryder standing by the limo, the night he’d whisked her away and told her he loved her for the first time.
Darcy wiped away a happy tear as she looked at it.
“You see it too, don’t you?” Pop Pop asked.
She nodded and sniffled.
Ryder had her pressed against the side of the limo, and he’d just kissed her. She touched her lips because she could still remember exactly how amazing that kiss had felt, how wild and free she’d felt in his embrace.
In the photograph, she was blushing, smiling, and Ryder was looking at her like…
“That’s a man who sees how extraordinary you are. Who can’t imagine a single day of his life without you in it,” Pop Pop said softly. “You found your true love.”
Darcy turned then and wrapped her arms around her grandfather. “Only because you taught me what to look for. I love you, Pop Pop.”
“And I love you, my lovely dark-haired lass.”
