His First Lady
In my ear, he whispers, “Soon, you’ll be my wife.”
We don’t quite make it to January, before we are married in a quiet, private ceremony with only our closest family and friends. Cynthia is there, as well as my parents and my daughters, and even Thea. Hugo and Kim also attend. Miles’s parents are there and a few more of his family.
After the wedding, Miles’s father hugs me tightly and tells me, “Thank you for saving my son.”
“He’s the one who saved me,” I say.
“That’s not true,” says Miles, close enough to overhear. “You saved yourself. I just happened to be there.”
