‘Lots of people don’t like Rafael. But he has his good points. Or at least I hope he does. He and I have decided to invest in a business venture together. Spanish vineyard holidays.’
‘Maybe we could honeymoon in Spain?’
Ethan shook his head, his expression serious. ‘We are not going on a working honeymoon, my love. I have way better plans than that, I promise you.’
‘I can hardly wait.’
He grinned down at her—a smile that lit his face—and his blue-grey eyes were flecked with a love that stole her breath.
‘I think Rafael has everyone’s attention,’ he murmured. ‘So let me snag us a glass of champagne... I want to toast our future under the stars.’
And as he twined his strong hand in hers Ruby basked in the healing lessons learnt from the past, the wondrous glow of joy of the present, and the glorious promise of the future.
