Dex follows Harry, and I try to angle my neck in front of the fan while I watch him walk. My hair is all up, but my neck is still sweaty. I don’t know why I’m a little nervous—I’m just a bridesmaid. I don’t have to worry about tripping because we’re all wearing flip-flops in the sand.
When it’s my turn to walk, I hold my bouquet of lilies in front of me, my eyes locking onto Leo. My stomach flutters nervously when he smiles at me.
So that’s why I’m nervous. It’s because I’m walking down an aisle toward Leo. Granted, it’s not the aisle—we’re incredibly happy but not ready for engagement yet. But it’s an aisle, and I’m getting a preview of what I hope for us one day.
Our first six months together have been a dream. He missed five weeks of his season rehabbing his knee and didn’t have to get surgery. We spent as much of his time away from his team as we could together. I gave up my apartment and officially moved in with him, so his house no longer looks like a model unit that no one lives in.
Things just fell into place during that time. We became a couple in every way. It was hard when he had to go back to work, but also okay, because he was so excited to be returning to his team to play the game he loves.
I can hear the crashing of waves over the music, and it calms me. I’m kind of a wave myself. I have highs and lows. I can be loud and dramatic. But I’m also steady.
Leo has helped my inner confidence grow. I always looked confident on the outside, but now I feel more sure of who I am and what I want than I ever have.
I’m walking toward what I want. My future. And his eyes promise me everything I never even dreamed I’d have.
