“We can’t just run away from our own wedding celebration,” she protested, but she didn’t stop moving.

Remy tugged at her hand. “I know you’re especially good at undressin’, Blue. Try doin’ it on the run.”

“Are you kiddin’ me? Undo them right now, Remy. And hurry up about it.”

“I’m madly, crazy in love with you,” he admitted, his hands eagerly slipping small pearly buttons out of their loops.

“I know,” she said, and waited for her wedding gown to fall to the ground.
