“I love you forever,” she says as she clings to me.
I wrap her up and hold her against me, picturing doing this a million more times through every stage of our lives. I’m looking forward to all of it.
EPILOGUE
SABRINA
“You look beautiful.” Olivia stares at me with glassy eyes.
“Thank you.” I rest a hand at my waist and take a deep breath. “Is it time?”
My best friend nods. “If you’re ready.”
“I’ve been ready since the second he asked me to marry him,” I admit.
It’s my wedding day!
We decided to do it at my parents’ house. A small, intimate ceremony and reception in the backyard with only our closest friends and family, but it’s turned out to be more people than we planned. Between Archer’s brothers and their partners and all his teammates, it was nearly impossible to keep the guest list small. Even his dad is in attendance.
“I’m so happy for you.” London hugs me. “And for me. We’re going to be sisters!”
We both laugh. She and Brogan haven’t tied the knot yet. They’re eloping later this summer, and Archer and I are going with them to be their witnesses, but I already think of her as my sister.
“You look like a princess!” Greer says, drawing my attention down to her.
“So do you.” I adjust the tiara on her head. It seemed only fitting that my flower girl get to pick out her own accessories.
She beams up at me.
“Time to go, baby.” Olivia leads her daughter to the door, London trailing behind them.
My mom steps up to me. She’s been crying at every mention of the wedding since Archer and I got to town earlier this week. But now her eyes are dry.
“I’m so proud of you, honey. You’re glowing, which tells me you picked the right man.” She hugs me gently and I breathe her in, throat tightening with emotion. I think she passed on her crying to me.
“Thanks, Mom,” I manage to get out the words, but my voice is tight.
We head out of my childhood bedroom and through the house. Everyone else is already outside. White chairs are set up facing a floral archway. Music filters in from the open sliding doors.
Brogan’s waiting for me just inside. His smile stretches across his face.
“Can I hug you or am I going to mess something up?” he asks, stepping closer but looking uncertain.
“I don’t care.” I reach for him, wrapping my arms around his neck and squeezing him. “I’m so glad you’re here.”
“Of course.” He chuckles lightly as he pulls back. “Where else would I be?”
“No, I mean, I’m glad you’rehere. In my life. It makes this day so perfect.”
“Plus, I introduced you to the groom.” He winks.
“Yeah, thanks for that.”
“You’re welcome.” He glances back. “He’s pretty excited.”
“Me too.”
“All right. See you up there, little sister.”
