“Mr. Filmore.” Tor takes point immediately. “I’m sorry we’re late. I’m Tor Saman, your daughter’s…” He pauses, throwing me a look as my dad looks like he’s seen a ghost. “Well, I got her here.”
He turns to me. “Who is this?”
“Dad, there’s no time. But, he got me here, and he saved my life, actually. But… I need to get dressed.”
My heart hammers, wondering how this is going to go, but my dad turns to Tor and extends his hand.
“Son, we will need to talk later, but right now, it’s my daughter’s wedding and my girls are my life. You need to know that. But, you saved my little girl from something, so that makes you family. You’ll sit in the front row with me.”
It’s a scramble to get me into my dress as Sasha throws up her hands as I come into the bridal suite.
“Girl.” She hardens her eyes, but she’s so stunning, I want to marry her. “You always keep things lively.”
I throw my arms around her as one of the other bridesmaids zips up my dress and the hair and make up lady stands by waiting.
“I’m sorry. So much to talk about but later.”
She nods. “Yes, later.” She looks at the woman standing to my left. “Get her ready. We have five minutes.”
I’m a blubbering mess during the vows, but Sasha and her husband Damon look like they both just won the lottery, and that’s exactly how it should be.
After the service, everyone moves inside, milling around the bar, finding their seats in the enormous elegant log cabin style hall. And there’s Tor. Hands in his pockets, watching me like a hawk.
Sasha scurries up to me so we can have another sobbing hug, then looks over as Tor walks our way.
“I want to hear this story in vivid detail,” she says, then bobs her eyebrows. “I like the accessory you brought with you.”
The DJ calls for the bride and groom to take their seats as Sasha gives me a wink, then scampers toward Damon.
Dinner and the food and the excitement, and sitting next to Tor, it’s all too much, but I’m floating on clouds and walking on air the entire time.
The DJ calls for the father daughter dance and that’s when the real waterworks start.
Sasha and Dad are sobbing while Tor pulls out his hankerchief and blots my tears from my cheeks.
They call for anyone to join the father and daughter on the dance floor, and Tor pulls me forward, spinning me and tugging me against him.
“How’s my girl?” he asks as I bury my face into his lapel.
“She’s happy and sad and excited…and a little sore.”
His deep chuckle vibrates against my cheek as his massive hand covers my back, while the other holds my hand outstretched.
Dad comes over as Damon takes Sasha away for the next dance as the songs change.
“I want to talk with your dad,” Tor says as he lays his long arm across my shoulders.
My belly flips and flutters as the two most important men in my life come face to face.
“Dad…” I start, but he raises a hand, his eyes locked on Tor.
“Young man. She’s the most precious thing in my life, along with her sister.”
“Then we have something in common, because she’s the most precious thing in my life as well. And, her family will be treated like my family.”
Dad nods as my blood pumps hard, watching the tension between them ebb and flow.
“You have family?” Dad asks, hands in his pockets, eyes fixed on Tor.
