Hand in hand, we passed our clapping guests. Bea walked in front of us, throwing white rose petals onto the floor. Sofia and Luisa gave me a thumbs up, and even Frederica smiled brightly at me. Mom was crying, something I抎 never seen in public and she quickly wiped her eyes and gave Dad an embarrassed smile. He rubbed her arm. Leonas winked at me. It would be his turn next.
Outside, dark clouds were pulling up and the occasional raindrop burst on my bare arms. 揑 hope it doesn抰 rain, then we can抰 do our reception outside.?
Santino squeezed my hand. 揑t doesn抰 matter if it rains or storms, nothing can ruin this day.?
I bit my lip. 揃ut we抳e planned our reception around good weather as was predicted by the forecast. We need sunshine.?
揘ah. Forever with you is all I need,?he murmured before his lips found mine again and I closed my eyes.
Soft rain drizzled down on us but I smiled against his lips. 揊orever.?
THE END
