“Let me.” Reece lifts the necklace out of the box and waves at me to turn around. I place my hand to my throat, closing my eyes as he drapes it around my neck and does up the catch.

“Open your eyes, Delaney,” he murmurs in my ear.

I swallow, tearing up at the sight of my gift.

“You’re almost ready. But you’ll need to change your earrings yourself because I’m not doing that. I’ll take off your earlobe or something.”

I laugh. “Thanks, Reece.”

The door opens. Pania steps through and closes it behind her. I don’t miss Reece catching his breath.

“Aren’t I lucky? Surrounded by beautiful women,” he says.

“So full of compliments today.” I tug out my earrings and, one by one, my ears are weighed down by the heavier diamonds. But I can’t wear anything else. I might never wear anything else.

“Just because you’re getting married doesn’t mean that I can’t try and win your heart.”

I roll my eyes, shoving his chest. “Good luck with that.”

Pania cocks an eyebrow. “We should get this show on the road before Josh thinks you’ve abandoned him.”

“Have you got the rings?”

He pats his pocket. “Everything’s under control. Even with me pulling double roles.”

I slide my arms around his waist. “Thank you for giving me away. I’m sorry if it makes more work for you today.”

Reece kisses my temple. “Anything for you two. It’s about time you got your wedding day. And I don’t mind pulling double duty. I’d be pissed if anyone else was Josh’s best man.”

“I love you, Reece.”

“Love you, too. So much that I’m not even going to make another joke about running away with me.” He holds me out at arm’s length, and there’s a twinkle in his eye. “Let’s go and get you married.”

The backyard has been transformed.

A floral arch stands behind Josh, and the rows are filled with chairs with an aisle down the middle. A tent is over the whole lot to shield us from any press trying to get photos. Word got out a few days ago about our wedding.

I’ve handed my kitchen off to the caterers, and the big reception room we didn’t know what to do with will finally get some use today.

I suck in a breath. It’s like a who’s who of Hollywood on both sides of the aisle. We kept the numbers low, but even now I still can’t believe half the names Josh has added to the list.

Right up the front are Josh’s parents, Gabby, and Antonio. Our family.

Pania leads Melly in front of us, and the two of them scatter rose petals as they walk toward the altar.
