"Welcome to the family, Sophie," Angelina said with a fierce hug.

"Thank you." She fought back tears of joy, her heart swelling so much that she felt it might burst inside her.

After they celebrated with a drink, Logan pulled Sophie onto the dance floor and held her close, his lips pressed to her temple as they danced to a slow, romantic song.

"I'm never letting you go, Sophie," he said. "I have a lot to apologize for."

She pulled back so she could see his face. "No. No more apologies. Today we start fresh, okay?"

He paused, then nodded and smiled. "Okay. Tomorrow I'm going to pick out a ring that'll knock your socks off."

She laughed and shook her head. "You knock my socks off."

"You're not wearing socks, but I'll be happy to knock off this dress and show you how much I love you."

The fires of desire burned hot as she looked into the eyes of the man she loved.

"Forever, Sophie," he murmured against her mouth, teasing her bottom lip with his tongue.

"Forever, Logan," she replied, grateful to the heavens, to the magic around them, and to destiny, for bringing her the man of her dreams.
