Chapter 74

In fact, it felt pretty good.

Daniel cupped her face with both hands, wiping away her new tears with his thumbs. Slowly, he sealed their promises with a chaste, sweet kiss.

Carol smiled against his mouth. “I think we can do better than that after thirty-eight years, don’t you?”

She returned the kiss, holding the back of his head as she wordlessly repeated her vows to him. She allowed her emotions to overtake her, a heady combination of excitement and fear and trust and love and hope, and the wave washed them both away.

The guests actually applauded when Daniel finally lifted his head.
