LOGINShe was teary by the end, which made me feel like I'd absolutely nailed it. "I now pronounce you husband and wife," the officiant said. "You may kiss your bride." I pulled Paige into my arms and kissed her while everyone cheered. At the reception, Danny gave his best man speech with way too mu
ASHER I'd performed in front of millions of people, won three acting awards, and done my own stunts in a movie where I nearly died twice. But standing in this room waiting to get married, I was more terrified than I'd ever been in my entire life. Ten dates. That's what I'd told Paige we neede
When my parents came back from their conference, Damon told me he wanted our families to know about our relationship officially. I was nervous, but I agreed. The next evening, everyone gathered in the main living room. My parents, Aunt Sky and her husband, Victor, Ella, Asher and his new girlf

KELLY "What are you talking about?" I asked Danny what I hoped was the perfect expression of innocent confusion. "I have absolutely no idea what you're getting at, Danny. You're being strange and cryptic, and frankly, it's starting to worry me." But even as I tried to play dumb, my mind was raci
"You know I'm not particularly picky," I said, reaching for the coffee pot. "As long as there's plenty of it and it's not actively poisonous, I'm happy." Danny set down his phone, and I could feel his eyes on me as I poured my coffee. The silence stretched between us, heavy with everything unsaid.
