“What?” she asked as she took a breath. She had enough of this already, and she didn’t want to be talking anymore. She could feel herself beginning to shut herself off again. The wall was being built with the one person she thought she would never have to build one to get away from.
“I am so sorry, baby, but I don’t want to leave.” He said, “I really don’t mind if you want to be alone. But I need to be with you.”
“Mack, what the hell? “she asked as she looked at him.
“I let it get to me, and I didn’t do what I should have.” He said as he hung his head down. “That is my mistake.”
“What is this thing you should have done?” she asked. Her words were strained. She could barely keep her e

Waking up in the morning, Mack was ready to make the day a good one and better than the one before though knowing that he almost lost her was enough to make him show her throughout the night how much he did love her. He was taking her to the place he thought would be perfect for them to have the ceremony. He knew that he had a few surprises for her left yet. He would talk to the captain of the department he worked for. Mack knew that he was an ordained minister. That would be one thing taken care of.Basically, the only thing they would have to do was get the license. He really hoped she would like the place he was thinking of. The only way to actually was for her to see it. He could do a lot with the area as well. She was the one who might not really like the ideas he was having, though. He really didn’t think she would care, but he was never going to underestimat

Within the week, everything was in place. They had the space rented out. They had the things they wanted to decorate the area. She had gone to a few places to look at dresses. Though she still was making up her mind, she had narrowed the field a lot. She had called her brother and her father. Her brother Christian the only one she was still talking to, and he had the same reaction as Mack’s other friends. He was too busy to talk to her. She sighed when she put down the phone.Her father had tried to talk her out of it. She didn’t understand why he would do that since he really didn’t seem to care ninety percent of the time. Though he raised a few good points, he was shot down every time and finally accepted this was going to happen next weekend. He said he would be there. He also said he would walk down the aisle with her. When she told him he would be the only family there for her,

Henni went out the next day to the place she had two dresses picked out. She was looking around and then she thought she saw some people that she knew. She looked over and then saw them closer, and it was exactly who she thought it was. It was the women she had met a few months ago. It was the ones who were with the guys that had hurt Mack. This was not going to be good if they saw her.As she went on to look at the dresses, it was hard not to overhear the group as they thought they were the only people in there even though there were quite a few other people there. Every time they started, she had to roll her eyes. She looked at the dress she had narrowed it down to. She smiled as she took it off the hanger. It had fit like a glove when she had tried it on last time.The style was perfect for everything, including the area. That was when she heard the comments to the woman who had caused Mack to see

Henni’s father was standing before her in the little reception area. He was looking around and then at her. “This is not what I would have expected for you.” He said as he looked around. The place had been cleaned up a little since they had been there the two weeks before. It was even more green and more like a fairy tale. Everything looked so beautiful, she had heard people say as they all made their way to the chapel. This must have been in the works for months, most people said. She smiled at that. The two weeks went by quickly as they had worked on everything together. It was her day to shine.“Did you ever expect this situation at all for me?” she asked as she looked at him as she straightened her dress.“To be honest, no,” he replied. “You were the l

As Mack held her on the dance floor, they had for dancing in the reception area, so very close to his body. He was nothing but smiles, as was she. This day had gone so perfectly. They had already cut the cake to her surprise everyone had thought the cake topper was perfect for him and her after seeing them together. They all knew why he had lost the extra weight and became healthier as well. He looked down at her, and she up to him. It seemed like the rest of the world disappeared when they looked at each other.They had not had a moment without people around since the ceremony. This was the most private they had been since they spoke their vows to each other. Right after the ceremony, when they walked out of the building, it was into the open field where they were getting photographs done. They had one with her father. Then another w

The young couple sent the next two weeks emptying the boxes that Mack had from moving in and just really getting used to the idea that they were married and nothing was going to get in between that fact. The day after the wedding, he had called his mother and asked her not to tell the extended family. Though he knew most of them would be happy that he had found his someone, he didn’t want to hear the drama from the other half. As it was, he had invited more than they had planned on for the day to help make up for the fact his family wasn’t there. Everything had worked out, though, and they had a wonderful day.The pictures were rolling in from the day as well. So far, there were well over a thousand for them to choose from, and he smiled every time he was reminded of the perfect day and how well everything had turned out. It was a hundred times better than he had planned. She had just rolled wit

It seemed the time had gone in the blink of an eye. Three months from their wedding and they still hadn’t really heard from any of the people who considered him a friend. He knew he had made more since the wedding that was in the same place as him in life whereas his other friends were not. He had settled into the married life rather well, he thought.“So when are you two going to have kids?” his sergeant asked as he was down with his workout at the gym. Mack looked up to the slightly older man and smiled at the question.“I really don’t know,” Mack said. “My wife is a bit younger than me. We really haven’t discussed it. She comes from a big family, and I don’t.”“Well, that is something that you two should kind of talk about.” the other man laughed. “My wife and I didn’t, a

“So Gabe called me,” Mack said when they calmed down and had their dinner. “He wanted to go get a drink.”“When?” She asked as she looked at him.“Thursday.” He replied with a laugh. “I did say if I go, they can not be there. It is supposed to be him and me.”“Mack, go and try to make up with your cousin.” She said as she looked at him.“You’re not concerned at all?” he asked.“Why would I be?” she asked as she looked at him.“The fact he agreed to those conditions. I mean, I feel like this is a setup of sorts.” Mack said as he looked at her now in the kitchen.“Well, even if it is a setup, don’t you think that you owe it to yourself to try and see if this new relationship is worth it?” she asked.
