Holding Her Breath (Indigo) (35 page)

“No, seriously? I really am. Congrats. I can’t say that enough. You two are great people and I’m glad to see you both happy.”

“Thanks.” Whitney hugged him.

Jo and Shorty were thrilled as were most of Whitney’s family members. Even Aunt Cheryl was having a good time at the wedding. Only Whitney’s grandparents separated themselves from everybody else. They sat at a table in the back of the reception hall and ignored all the other guests.

At least they were there. They’d flown in that morning, and they were flying out the next day. She would have a talk with them before they went back to New York. Maybe things would go better in person than they had over the phone.

Chace walked up and slipped an arm around her waist at the same time that her bridesmaids and Delaney materialized. Delaney hopped over to Rob and started chattering about catching the bouquet.

“How does it feel to be Missus Murphy?” he said before squeezing her shoulders and kissing her forehead.

“It feels pretty wonderful so far.” She smiled, thinking back to their first dance. She’d let him surprise her with the song and he’d done a good job. He’d chosen “What’s It Like” by Jagged Edge, taking her right back to Valentine’s Day. And the wonderful night they’d shared at the restaurant. “I think I’ll be in love with you forever. Is that going to be a problem?”

“I don’t think so considering I’ll never stop falling in love with you.”

She grinned against his lips. “Good.”

He kissed her. “Good.”

“So what do we do now?”

“Dance the night away with me,” Chace said, grabbing her hands.

“More dancing? Aren’t we supposed to leave soon or something? After all the bouquet and garter stuff?”

“No leaving. Yes. More dancing.”

“Okay, let me ditch these shoes.” Whitney kicked her shoes off and let Chace pull her back out onto the dance floor. She smiled up at him, thinking that she had everything she needed in life right there on that dance floor. What a good feeling to have.
