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

The thought made my stomach clench. Danny wasn't stupid, far from it. He'd already noticed specific details about my body, even though I'd tried to make him feel ridiculous for his bizarre elbow reference. What if he started comparing notes? What if some gesture, some unconscious mannerism gave me a
I tried to keep the accusation out of my voice, but some of it leaked through anyway. I'd been looking forward to learning a few things from him, and his absence had left me with Britney. Steve seemed distressed "I'm so sorry, Kelly. Even if I'd wanted to tell you in person, I wasn't in any condit
DANNY As we climbed up the mountain, I found myself enjoying the experience more than I'd expected. The physical exertion was satisfying in a way that desk work never was - using my body instead of just my mind, focusing on the simple task of putting one foot in front of the other, breathing in th
"Kelly, are you all right?" His eyes scanned my body frantically, looking for injuries. "Are you hurt? Did you break your wrist? Did you break your arm? Can you move?" I shook my head, feeling tears prick at my eyes for the first time since this whole nightmare began. I'd been so focused on surviv
