Inside was a gorgeous ring. He slipped it on her finger, a perfect fit, and she thought, He’s got this all planned.
That should have alarmed her, right?
Definitely.
But the ring was so beautiful, with a large square-cut diamond, smaller diamonds glittering along the platinum band. And everything just felt...right somehow. Tonight, she was living the teenage fantasy she’d once believed in so passionately—the fantasy of her and Deck and happily-ever-after.
The years between then and now had somehow folded in on themselves. He’d never taken a buzz saw to her heart, never married someone else.
Her life with him, the love he’d always promised her. Their own personal forever...
It was coming true at last.
The chapel complex had it all, everything two people needed to say “I do,” Vegas style.
The woman in the lobby area greeted Deck by name. “Mr. McGrath.” She practically cooed at him. “Welcome to Now and Forever.” She aimed a thousand-watt smile at Nell. “And it’s a delight to meet your beautiful bride.” The woman took Deck’s black credit card and sent him to the men’s boutique to rent a tux.
Another woman came for Nell. “I’m Anita. And I’m so glad you’ve come to us for your special night. Follow me.”
In the bride’s boutique, Nell chose her dress. It was perfect, that dress, with a low back and lace sleeves—a mermaid dress, clinging to her body all the way to her knees and then opening out in a fishtail of lace and glittering beads. A seamstress quickly pinned and tucked at the waist and down over her hips, creating a perfect fit. And then she whisked the dress away to alter it on the spot.
