“Well, if there is anything I can do to help, just ask. Whether it's finding out who it is or the wedding. I’m always here,” Jasmine smiles beside me. I don’t know what I would do without this woman sometimes.
“I know,” I smile, taking her hand. “Bratties before Daddies,” I remind her, giving her hand a slight squeeze.
“Bratties before Daddies,” she smiles, returning the squeeze.
As everyone around us starts talking among themselves and people start heading home, I sit back and enjoy seeing everyone happy and relaxed after a stressful week. My best friend has had the most wonderful wedding, which is what she deserves. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for those she loves, and I’m lucky to be included in that list.

“So, has today made you think about what kind of wedding you would like?” Ryan asks as we head to the security hub, where we will stay again tonight.
“A little,” I admit, as he places an arm around my shoulders. “I know I don’t want a big one. Maybe something like this. Small and intermate.
“You can have anything you want, Sweetheart,” Travis smiles. “All you have to do is say you are ready, and we can start planning.”
“I would like to find my real dad first.”
“Then that’s what we will do, Kitten. You know we’ll help you every step of the way,” Ryan says into my hair.
“I know you will,” I sigh, leaning into him while smiling at the others. They have been so amazing since everything has come to light, and I know there is nothing they wouldn’t do to help me find peace. But to do that, I need to drag up the past, and I could never do that without them. There are so many unanswered questions, and I plan to get answers to them all. I owe it not only to myself but to my mum, too.
