“What about this place?” Megan asks.
“Well, I was thinking about giving you a promotion. I trust you to keep things going here.”
She gasps. “Seriously?”
“Yes, our clients trust you as much as they trust me. It’s time you spread your wings. I think I’ve planned my last event for a while.”
“Well, I’m actually here to see if you’d be willing to plan one more event,” Queen Joy says.
“Oh, okay. What kind of event is it?”
She gives me a mischievous smile. “It’s my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding.”
I burst into laughter and Princeton tugs me into his chest, squeezing me tight. He kisses my forehead as I look up at him. The joy in his eyes is contagious. I can’t stop smiling.
“Beauty for Ashes. That’s the perfect way to explain us. Yes, you will definitely have to be our planner.”
“Proposal accepted. It would be an honor.”
Epilogue
Ever After
Princeton
I’ve finally made Cinder my wife. The fire that used to be anger inside me has now turned to passion for her. My Cinder.
I burn for her every day and try to find new ways to bring a smile to her face. However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her look this happy.
The beaming smile on her gorgeous face is something I’ll live the rest of my life trying to recreate. Her eyes are sparkling and her cheeks are glowing.
“I love you,” I say without thinking.
“I love you too.”
I flex my fingers on her waist as I dance her around the ballroom. Ray LaMontagne’s “You Are The Best Thing” plays and I couldn’t think of a better song to say the words I feel. Cinder is the best thing that has happened to me.
“What?” I say as I look at the little smile on her lips. I know that smile, she’s thinking something cheeky.
“Nothing,” she says.
“That isn’t a nothing smile. Tell me.”
“Well, if you insist. I was wondering which room we should make the nursery. I want to pick out new wallpaper and a crib when we get back from our honeymoon,” she says.
“I like the room across… wait.” I narrow my eyes at her as her eyes light up. “Are we in need of a nursery?”
“I was never on birth control. You never gave me a chance to tell you that,” she says with a brilliant smile.
I cup her face and kiss her deeply. I love this woman. I could never have asked for a better princess.
The only reason I break the kiss is that our guests stop around us to applaud. I remember that we’re in the middle of our wedding. I look around at all the smiling faces, but it’s the smile before me that takes all my attention.
I look in those brown eyes and my world comes full circle. I exist to be hers. I’ve waited all my life to find my way back to her.
“I love the fuck out of you,” I whisper against her lips as I put my forehead to hers.
“You’re my happy ever after,” she whispers back.
