“Absolutely.”

Nate was waiting for her at the church. His parents were in the front row. Nate was ready to receive her as his bride. Daisy’s heart raced as she thought of the moment when they would finally be together, the look of love and devotion in his eyes when he caught sight of her.

The minutes ticked by, and Daisy felt her excitement growing. She couldn’t believe she was about to start a new life with the man she loved.

Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as she stepped into the vestibule. Imelda was there, ready to affix her veil. Bailey took her coat, and then Daisy turned to look at her mother.

She burst out laughing.

“How did you get that hat here undetected?”

“Stealth, Daisy. I’m the mother of the bride, and it’s my duty to wear a big hat.”

“You look fabulous,” Daisy said and clutched her hand.

Daisy stepped forward to the wooden door that would take her inside the church. Her eyes were wide, and her heart was pounding with anticipation. Daisy took a deep breath and walked through the doors.

She saw Nate standing at the end of the aisle, his eyes meeting hers. Time and space seemed to melt away as the two of them locked eyes. Daisy felt a wave of emotion wash over her, and tears welled in her eyes. Imelda hooked her arm through Daisy’s arm and walked her down the short aisle where she handed Daisy over to Nate.

“You look sensational in a suit,” Daisy said, her voice all breathy.

“I love your dress, but I can’t wait to get you out of it,” he whispered, leaning down to kiss her cheek.

Nate extended his arm, and Daisy stepped forwards, allowing him to pull her close. Daisy felt the warmth of his embrace and knew that she was home. They held each other for what felt like an eternity until the officiant cleared his throat and asked them to turn and face each other.

She and Nate spoke their vows with all the love and commitment they felt for each other, their eyes never leaving each other’s faces. When Reverend Sprite declared them husband and wife, there were cheers and tears of joy from those gathered.

As they turned to walk down the aisle, Daisy and Nate’s gazes met, and they shared a knowing smile. They would never forget the day.

They stepped out into the sunshine, now Mr and Mrs Hill. Daisy smiled, her heart lighter than ever. They had made it, and now their life together could begin.

The day was everything Daisy had dreamed it would be. Cynthia Turner hadn’t spoiled it.

Nate drove Daisy back to the cottage when everyone scattered to their homes.

Daisy felt the gentle warmth of Nate’s arm around her shoulder, and she felt more content and at peace than ever. She and Nate were husband and wife, and that was all that mattered.

From then on, their life together would begin. With or without her brothers in her life.

Chapter Twenty-Four

Nate

“Are you sure you don’t want another?” Nate said as he kissed the inside of Daisy’s thigh.

“Have we slept?” she answered lazily in the dark.

“There might have been a twenty-minute snooze, but I’m not sure.”

“Mr Hill?” Daisy asked.

He could hear the smile in her voice, and he loved that. They’d been married for less than a day, and she sounded as content as he felt.

“Yes, Mrs Hill.”

“Will you open the curtains?”

“It’s dark, babe,” he whispered as he kissed the apex of her thighs.
