It took Maya a moment to compose herself before beginning her vows."Jace, I always felt like there was something missing in my life. I just didn't know what until you came along. So believe me, I'm also fucking glad that you finally gathered those balls."The officiant cleared his throat loudly, a pointed reminder that they were in church. Laughter rippled through the chapel."Sorry," Maya mouthed sheepishly before continuing her vows, her gaze locked on Jace."You are my rock, my inspiration, and the love of my life. You make me laugh, you lift me up, and you make every day brighter. I promise to honor you, respect you, and stand by you in all that we do. I vow to love you with all my heart, through every trial and triumph, for the rest of our lives. With you, I have found my forever."A round of "Awws" swept through the chapel. When it was time for the exchange of rings, Rita diligently got up with the basket containing the rings in their jewelry cases.Tessa picked up Jace's ring

"Tessa..."Before Gendry could say more, a hand tapped him on the shoulder. They both turned to find Tessa's father staring between them suspiciously."Can I have a dance with my daughter?" the older man asked. "You two have danced to two songs already. I don't think you're required to keep a streak.""Kris!" his wife hissed beside him, giving Gendry an apologetic look."What?" Kris grumbled. "Is it wrong to want to dance with my daughter?""No, of course not, Mr. Miller," Gendry replied with a polite smile, frustrated at the interruption but understanding that the man wasn't trying to be malicious. "But I hope I'm also allowed to dance with your wife?"Kris narrowed his eyes, but before he could say anything, Thalassa stepped in. "Of course, you and I can dance together. I can dance without my husband's permission."Her husband gave her a glare, but chuckling, she took Gendry's hand and put some space between them. They began dancing together while Tessa and her father also danced, e

Tick... tock. Tick... tock. The clock continued to tick.No, there was no wall clock in her room, but to Tessa, there might as well have been as she lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the knock on her door.Heck, she had even left the lights on just so Gendry would know she wasn’t asleep. And yet, she’d been waiting for a long time, and he still hadn’t come knocking.Her chest clenched. It was time to accept that Gendry didn’t even care enough to take advantage of the fact that this was their last night together. He wasn’t going to come.Blinking back the burn in her eyes, Tessa slowly scooted out of bed and got to her feet. Heading to the door, she was just about to turn the lights off when she heard it.Knock. Knock.Tessa was embarrassed by how quickly she unlocked the door and yanked it open.Gendry stood on the other side in a white shirt and sweatpants, an outline visible that made Tessa swallow like a parched woman.She dragged her gaze back to his face. He raised

They began to move in sync; up and down, sideways, gyrating. Gendry driving up to meet her with every stroke.They were in no hurry. It was exquisitely strange. They both knew this was their last night together, and yet, somehow, it also felt like they had all the time in the world, wanting to truly savor every moment.They didn’t sleep that night. Tessa wouldn’t have been able to count the number of times they came together, even if she tried. She hadn’t thought it was even possible to do it so many times in one night, but every time she believed they were spent, the need for each other only seemed to intensify.They finally stopped when the early morning sunlight began to peek through the curtains. Tessa was exhausted.So exhausted and incredibly sated that all she wanted to do was curl up by Gendry’s side and drift off to sleep. But they couldn’t do that.In two hours, her family would arrive to pick her up for their flight back to Baltimore. How would she explain it?“When do they

The restaurant Kevin took her to was one of the most exclusive restaurants in Baltimore. People had to book weeks in advance before they could reserve a table. It had stunning vintage decorations that paired beautifully with the warm chandeliers.Tessa barely had time to take it all in before a waitress approached them with an extra big smile.“Mr. Balthazar, please follow me.”Kevin placed a hand on the small of Tessa’s back, gently guiding her as they followed the waitress. They moved past the main dining area where every table was full. Then, they stepped into a more secluded section clearly meant for VIP guests.There was only one table.It was decorated with a single lit candle in the center, surrounded by delicate rose petals. The low lighting made the setup feel intimate and romantic.Tessa took it all in, appreciating the beauty of it. Kevin had clearly put thought into making this night special.She should have been touched. Excited. Instead, there was a strange emptiness in
