“What about you two?” Violet asks. “What are your plans? You just mentioned living in Pinesville. Are you going to stay? Raise a family someday?”
“Well, that’s one reason why we’re here,” I answer as I reach for Christopher’s hand. “I know you don’t want to move from here, but we were hoping you’d at least come visit us in Pinesville for our wedding. Christopher has officially asked for my hand in marriage, and we’re going to make our wedding vows legal. It’s the last step of erasing our past and what was forced upon us. We are choosing to be married now. I want our vows to be made without an actual chain around our ankles.”
“It would mean a lot to have you three there,” Christopher adds. “You’re our family.”
“We wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Violet announces. “Oh, what amazing news.”
When both Holly and Violet squeal in joy and pull my hand out of Christopher’s so they can see the large diamond ring he bought me, Christopher and I both laugh at their excitement.
“You both look really happy,” Isaac says. “It didn’t come easy, but well worth the wait, it seems.”
“I wouldn’t want to go through this journey with anyone else—hard or not,” I admit, looking at Christopher with so much love in my heart that it actually physically feels tight.
Christopher puts his arm around me and pulls my chair closer to him as he says, “It’s about time I truly make Ember my bride. She was my captive bride, then my kept bride, and then my taken bride. But it’s about time for her to be my forever bride.”
The End.
